front fender

Post by Rookie305 » Sat Jun 12, 2010 1:13 pm

On a ca77 front fender, what is supposed to go in the 2 holes at the bottom? Is there a specific part for that? Thanks in advance for any help.

A hidden mud scraper/flap. I removed mine and put the 2 small bolts back in.

That's what I was thinking most people did, but wasn't sure. I haven't seen any close ups of the front fender, but that is what I will do is put some bolts back in there. Thanks for your help brewsky!

mudflap

Post by Kevmcp » Sun Jun 13, 2010 9:14 pm

I made my own mudflap. Ill post pictures of it, but in the meantime, here are some photos of what it looks like. The smaller ears go to the back. If you want to make your own, I drew the outline. Just get some 1/8 or so rubber epdm gasket material, glue them together, with the bar where it belongs. You make the bar out of any gauge, like 16" thick material, easy. Glue them with 3m cement that is made for epdm. The stuff never comes apart.

the bar helps

Also, the bar helps keep the flair of the fender from flairing out more and cracking along the fold line, which can happen easily if you hit a curb, so, even if you dont make the flap, then put a bar in there.
