Re: 460 front mudflaps

EPC has nothing.

I had the remains of a clamp around the chassis tube behind the wheel that must clamp to the top of the flap. The 463 seems to clamp to the sills witht a very expensive long U clamp (£40 each just for a bit of 3" long U section.. which will hold mud and rust..)

Best way is a clamp around the chassis tube as OEM .. did consider making them from 40mm wide 1.2mm steel as found .. or using 1 or 2 exhaust clamps to do the same thing..

I have a pair of rears with pretty rusty, but still solid ironwork. The rubber is still fine if they are any use to anyone.

Re: 460 front mudflaps

Try your Mercedes dealer. Purchased a set for £18 a few yeays ago.They attatch to the sills with two bolts. The original ones attatched to the chassis member tube but the offside was missing whem I purchased the car. Western Mercedes Benz in Coldstream are very helpfull. They do make a differnce - especially as I only wash my G twice a year!!

If a member needs a nearside one give me a PM.
