Rear Mudflaps

· Posted: 15.06.2017 · #1

I have genuine Fiat mudflaps on the front but no mudflaps on the rear and would like to fit a pair.

Has anyone fitted rear mudflaps and where to buy from? Not interested in the full width (road sweeper) style.

Thank you.

As you are probably on an Alko chassis you would be better looking at a universal set rather than a fiat Ducato set

I have used the brown woven door mat with a bitumen backing from Lidl cut to size with the woven side next the tyre. This helps to contain the splash from blowing up the sides. they have been on there for the last ten years and still doing the job.

You could buy a mud flap for a truck which are about 22 inches square and chop it to size. The new type truck mud flap are now only about 3mm plastic type material with a layer of plastic hair on the wheel side. These flaps are brilliant at spray suppression in wet weather.

Mal, you take me back to the time in the UK when they decided to fit all trucks with spray suppression. the arches were covered and like a moustache at the sides. The mud flaps at the rear were so low that you pulled them off if you backed up to a pavement.
Then they joined the common market and it all went out the window

But they are back the last 2.5 years across the whole EU. Keep the the bottom of the flaps about 6 inches off the ground, because it helps to avoid catching them on a kerb when reversing.

That is exactly what I did, only it was the old type that I found lying about, I mounted them back a bit from the wheel's so when I reverse back against a kerb they just bend up and don,t catch the wheels
