Has anybody got templates for front and/or back mudflaps?I want to make some from Kaylan, I can get them lazer cut, and figure the brackets to mount them, but I am not having much luck with bits of card in trying to make some templates, and I'm fed up with the sides of the car being pebble dashed!!
Any help would be really appreciated
Buy the standard rectangles and bolt them on - that was my approach, nothing complicated
That worked for me as well
Laser cut mudflaps!?!?
A flowjet would be more suitable for cutting Kaylan surely??Originally Posted by john

Kaylan?

also now i know it!
When ever I'm thinking about making stuff for the car, I'm always trying to incorporate repeatability into the process so that we don't have to keep reinventing the wheel.
Chris, Neil what size are your standard rectangles, and do you have any photos? ta
Griff
The Standard Rectangles are 500x300mm & the ones Rally Design sell are Kaylan!
I dont have any decent photos from my car, but here is a couple from Chris's Car - Hope you dont mind Chris
And a couple of poor shots from my car...
That saved me hunting those pics out!
Let me know if the laser cutting works OK without hazardous by-products. I can also do laser cutting at work but we can't have HF or HCl in the exhaust as it does too much damage to the machine.
I'll try to investigate Kaylan but if it has any resemblance to a vinyl or PVC then it's a no go for me.
Answering my own question, it's a polyurethane.
The nitrogen atoms in it will likely produce NOx in a laser cutter - not ideal and maybe also HCN both in small quantities I'd guess so for me laser cutting is probably out unless the filter units can deal with the bad stuff.
