The Just Kampers mud flaps similar in shape but otherwise are not at all
like the OEM mud flaps installed on North American Westfalias. They are
constructed from a different type of material and attach to the vehicle
differently. No drilling in the body panels is required to mount the mud
flaps. For details see my posting in the archives:
