BMC Side Mud Flap

Post by mollythemoggie »

Hi Guys!
used to have these on my mini on both sides.. and really loved the look of them! I have ONE left! (alas) and i've been asking around about getting them repro'd with some rubber moulding companies as i haven't been able to track down any more!

I just wanted to share another BMC accessory because I love them.. i don't know why but i think they're hot and i wish you could still get them! so hopefully just hopefully I'll find someone to repro them and share them with the world!

I would love some more info on them as well! if anyone knows about them!

I guess they are handed but as you have a pair you could mould them yourself.
Have a look on you tube for instructions.
Here are some for making a rubber gun;

There's an old book still available on casting small metal parts and rubber by William A Cannon.

Quite a lot of useful information in there-especially for one off reproduction.

that's what i love about you guys.. just read and make it! i swear us aussies don't have the tenacity to take a rusted bear shell and hand fabricate the panels and go the extra mile.. i guess road salt has made you guys much better at dealing with a good challenge! time to put on the reading glasses and the video goggles!
