I found a better solution. I went to NAPA and looked over their mud flap supply. I found a set of large black mud flaps, and with a little creativity, went to the hardware store, found some long metal (bendable) strips of brackets, wich I made into brackets to help support the mud flaps where there would be too much flopping around in the wind. I have a syncro, wich has the stupid little, good for nothing , teeny weeny worth-less mud flaps, wich turned out to be great to mount the NAPA style mud flaps right up against them. The home made brackets were screwed into the inside body and then supporting the section of the new mud flaps where needed. The cost, about $50 for everything and about 3 hours. The mud flaps I made are better looking than anything I've seen so far. Michael M, 87 syncro. >> Hey Mike, Part numbers? Pics?
