Home made mudflaps
After about eight Disco3 days out I have destroyed all four of my loriginal and rover mudflaps. They're a rubbish design as they're not flexible enough.
There was some talk of making some a few months ago. I'm determined to have a go. I want to make them more like the big flappy ones you get on Defenders.
Can anyone suggest a good source of rubber sheet? Alternatively I could buy a set of four Defender mudflaps and fettle them to fit (that way I'll get LR logos on the back ones)
Any suggestions on suitable rubber?

you could try these people, I bought a load of the tylene or whatever it's called to line my old SIII and I'm going to make some mudflaps out of the leftovers when I get around to it...(eventually)

Nice job Wiggs. That's exactly the kind of thing I was going to try to do...
Some rubber would be great! (Ooo-er Missus)
I'm coming to Billing next weekend - probably on the Saturday, but maybe Sunday if the waether forecast is better. I was going to stop by the Disco 3 camp on the way in. I'll PM you my phone number.
