Hi all,

I tried to search on here but to no avail.
I recall there being discussion about the 'wide' Mk2 S flares. Are they available? Anyone know how much wider they are over the standard flares?

Cheers
Will

Put wide and flares in the search box and it's the third hit down?

Topic: Factory Round Nose Flares – Back in Stock

I've posted a pic there showing the difference.

Now that he's got the manufacturer of the standard flares sorted I believe John is looking at having new tooling made for the wider Australian factory flares. I sent him a NOS set I acquired recently that included the metal backing strips.
