Flares on NT body

[PJ.zook]

I searched, found some interesting stuff but not answers.
Ive got a NT body on a WT chassis, and obviously the wheels stick out a good 3inches either side from the NT flares. I just found my metal WT flares dont fit on my NT, but i could just remove the NT flares leaving a nice horizontal surface to tek screw garden edging too.
This would look a bit ugly though wouldnt it? Theres no rounded edging as theres no flare, its just rubber jutting directly out from the body. Is there any other easy options? I dont really want to drill out tacks and weld WT mounts to NT body.

well I've seen a NT ute with WT flairs so it is possible some how

I'm going to have this problem when i put my 31's on!

The only way i can think is to

A- Get garden edgeing.
B- Get Jeep tj flairs but it's alot of work! OR
c- Get that plastic checkerplatre look like stuff and put some ruber mounding around the edges!

If any others have any other ideas i wouldn't mind to know eather!

You can use WT flares on a NT, you just have to find a wrecked WT and remove the flares and also remove the flare bracket by drilling out the spot welds.
Then weld, tek screw ect. the flare brackets onto the NT zook and its all good

If you look hard, you might be able to find plastic WT flares, they are rare but worked realy well on my old zook they took a pounding.

just get a bit of flat gal steel about 1.8 inch wide curve it and tek screw it in i my zook is not home so cant mesure exact but thats what i have done cost me bout 5 bucks for steel and ten mins

Yeh mad_zook i was thinkin of doin that, but the curvature of the WT flares looked to be of a larger diameter to me when i mocked them up against the panel.
Anyway i think i solved it, ive cut the bottom lip off the NT flares so its flush with the mounting points, then ive got some 100mm garden edging which im going to attatch to the body thru same holes as ill attatch the cut down flares. Im using plastic retainers similar to the old ones that were there too so if flare gets into heavy contact with somethin, it just comes away instead of bending shit, then i just reattatch it with spare plastic retainers.
Pics comin soon, gotta find digital camera, here kitty kitty

Ive put wt flare on 2 nt zooks all I did was get 4 pieces of flat and screw 1 end into the wt flare bolt hole and tech screw the other end to the underside of the wheel arch. Looked ok from the top. This time I ground the flare mount off both zooks ( nt and wt) then pop rivet the wt mount onto the nt then attached the flare to it. Looks stock and I didnt need to weld.
