Hello friends,

Where would one track down some front mudflaps?
The ones that run along the sills?

Trying to locate a set for the 850
Cheers in advance, Adam.

requires a lot of good luck - mine were NOS, and came from Grieg. I also have a good 2nd hand set I bought off ebay set aside for my traveller.

A few years ago a NOS set went for ~$450 on ebay...

Mine had what looked like old conveyer belt cut to shape - needless to say they ended in the bin.

I found similar ones (but not identical) lurking in the back room of an auto parts store in Wagga. You've just got to be lucky I guess.

Hiya,

Keep an eye on swap meets too - I found some NOS BMC Rosette ones (and a set of snow chains for 10 inch wheels) at a swap on Sunday.

Pure co-incidence - wasn't looking for anything specific, but had to snap them up.

cheers!

I don't know if it is the standard fitment but mine involved drilling holes in the still - something I am not keen on so the holes have been well and truely sealed

I don't have a photo but I have the part number, Front = HYL3324, Rear = HYL3325.
The 1100 and the Morris Major use the same fronts but they use different rears.
