rear n/s mud flap

strange question, is it legal to drive around without your mudflap there? Also, I found it literally hanging off - brackets snapped, not sure whether to order just bracket as I have the flap which is riveted to the old bracket. Cheers

I'm pretty sure there is no legal requirement to have mud flaps although if they are fitted they should be safe!

you can buy the brackets and support plates separately and, I guess, just drill out hte old rivets and put in new ones, or nuts and screws

I’ve ripped off, perished and randomly lost many from all corners over the years..... The vehicle is legal without, unless someone showed you were causing a hazard due to its absence or half-hanging off as said.

I have found the price with new shiny bracket is little more, and looks a darn sight better? PITA to get to some of the front mounting nuts in the outrigger, rivnuts come in handy to just replace. Rears are a juggling act to attach each end at about the same time, but simpler overall.

Enjoy! A

Not yet stopped for missing a mud flap. I have a hicap so imagine how much tyre is showing.
