Hello Dave

Hi RegyRocky,

If it keeps happening, could you put in piano hinge and a chain to hold up the panel (mud flaps)? That way, if they get scrapped on rocks, they will easily fold up without damage.

Yes the intention is to eventually put some form of hinge on the mudguards. So the fix above is only a semi permanent fix until I come up with a simple durable way of hinging etc. The previous owners roofing screws kept breaking so at least this should now be fixed.

More Roofing screws. This time drilled into the tow bar to hold the number plate and its lighting system which was also too low (below the tow bar) which meant every time I touched the tow bar the Number Plate bent at right angles first.

There were 8 holes drilled into the tow bar with the roofing screws and most were not used.

I ended up making a new bracket and welded it to the tow bar and I also welded up all the holes that had be drilled into it.

Now the number plate sits above the bottom of the tow bar and so it should remain fairly straight from now on.

Good stuff. A very worthwhile mod!

Do you have a couple of screws at the bottom of the number plate? It can help when playing in water, or to be more specific, when trying to exit a creek and the number plate goes under water.
