how do i fit mud flaps to an evo 8?

[Tudgey]

just bought some nice mud flaps, but have no fitting instructions.
im not thats good with these things so may have a problem.
ive took some pics, can anyone help? cheers

kit consists of obviously the 2 front and 2 rear flaps brackets as shown and 18 nuts n bolts

Going to get some myself, so a good guide from someone in the know would be excellent, as I'm useless with these kind of things too

 

[Tudgey]

yeah, please help us.

Not sure why there is so many brackets but you use the brackets like you would use washers, keeps them more rigid fixing them to the car

The u shape brackets and L shape brackets are for the back. I will post up a guide now once I've finished my grub

1. Get the rear wheel off.

2. Remove the bolt (nr.10) in the wheelarch. (left on on the picture)


3. Put the bracket in place and bend it so it's straight (otherwise your mudflap will not be straight).

4. Remove the bolt (nr.10) that keeps wheel arch-lining and the bumper together.
I put the bracket behind the bumper at the top and between bumper and mudflap at the bottom hole. Unsure if that is correct. Assume you could fit the entire bracket at the inside (between bumper and wheel arch lining). I am afraid doing so will result in the mudflap not hanging straight though as the bracket will be at an angle.


5. I also reused the original bolt to screw the bracket back in place. For the rest, just use the 3 retaining clips.

Job done. Hope that helps and maybe a mod could move it to the guide section for future use

oh your a star. same sort of thing for front i guess nick?

 

[Nickygixer-k5]

Yep just use the straight brackets on the front and original fixings, the front are easier to do than the rears and you don't need to take the wheels off

Remove clips from bodywork then offer up the mudflap then bracket onto mudflap then clips through brackets then mudflap into bodywork

the flaps are on now. took about 4 hours but on.
had to use longer screws and bend brackets a little.
i guess all jobs are different, the diagrams helped tho.
