I made my own using a pair of mudguards from a 7.5t truck, cost me £30 on ebay and half a days work. You can cut them as wide as you like.

Do they line up exactly with your old arches then? Am looking at buying a pair from MPS which are the same as the ones in your pics...am running 35x12.50 tyres so i presume should be an exact fit?
