fitting mudflaps

[humbucker]

i'm goin to get a set of new mudflaps for the cav and they come with a set of self tapping screws, im just not sure how to fit them? where do they screw into on car/flaps? any advice from anyone who has already done this would be welcome. thanks in advance.

drilling flaps into the car is a bad idea, they will just let in water to the pannel gaps and it will rust out in time

There are clamp type mounts that are a lot easier on the bodywork id get some of those

ah yes thanks for that, i seem to recall seeing something similar on one of my family's cars... i'll definitely use those instead. hopefully they wont fall off!

how many clamps do you recommend for each flap?

It depends in an ideal world about 3/4 a side.
They tend to be heavy and any less you manage to pull them out if you hit anything plus it stops all the weight being on one clip

ok so i'll bank on a pack of four per mudflap. thanks for the advice
