Old Tyre Mudguards

Post by Hursty »

Hi All

My last trailer had mudguards that were made out of old tyres and appeared to be semi professionally made. Does anyone know if they are sold in Darwin or will they have to be made?

Cheers

Hursty

I used an old trye style one on my boat for a quick fix when one of my guards blew.

all i did was on the drive home, stopped when i found a decent one on the highway
they are everywhere up here.

the propper plastic molded ones arnt that expensive if you want to upgrade.

50 bucks from voyager gets you a length of the plastic you can use for indestructible mud guards

Exactly. This is the reason I am looking to put the rubber ones on. Had a plastic one disintegrate on the way to corroboree.

The guards on my old trailer were made out of that conveyor belt rubber, i always thought that was a great idea.
