I have posted this info in my XJ VSB14 build thread, but for info...
Fitted up the quick release mud flaps this morning. Only took 10 minutes using 10g x 25mm galv tech screws (4 in each bracket). Solid as a rock and another point towards getting the XJ through inspection.
List of parts:
2 pieces 500 x 20x20mm rhs
2 x plastic end caps for 20mm rhs
2 pieces 100 x 25x25mm rhs
2 pieces 100 x 50mm flat bar
2 pieces 500 x 25x25mm flat bar
10 x 6mm nuts and bolts
8 x 10g x 25mm tech screws
2 x 450 x 300 strips of rubber (I used 10mm thick used conveyor belt)
Spray paint
Tools:
Welding machine
Grinder
Tape
Drill with 6mm or 6.5mm bit
Bit for tech screw
File
Cost: If you have some bits and pieces laying around, you can fab these up in a few hours for less than $30 total. A steel yard will just about give you the off cuts, and there are places around that sell conveyor rubber for cheap.. look on Gumtree.
Savings: Depending on where you were thinking of buying them, you can save between $100 and $200 dollars. These ones for sale at Murchison cost $275
