Volvo front mud flaps fitting?

Anyone ever fit these to the front of a volvo fm, the rubber mud flaps that look to hang from the front bumper??
Help would be appreciated chaps

Cheers

The best way to find out is next time you see one parked up either get under and have a look or ask the driver,it will be much easier than somebody trying to explain on here, :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

unless you intend doing all your miles in reverse then what you intend doing is a complete waste of time and the bosses money. if the fitting of mudflaps in front of wheels was a good idea then the vehicle manufacturers would have done it. Areodynamics sonny boy, One born every day :smiley:

It ain’t for my motor one of are lads wants them on so thought someone one here may know.
I think they look pretty smart but they are a bit costly for what they are…

There should be some pre drilled bolt holes just at the bottom of the bumper get some angle iron measure the holes drill angle iron each end and bolt up.to attach mudflap to angle iron drill a few holes at the top either put washers on or use a strip of steel at the front stops them ripping around the bolt holes.probably easier doing it all then just bolt the lot up.hope this helps

Thank you sir

I know somebody who has these, and they are held on with cable ties, pulled loosely enough to allow the flap to pivot when the truck is moving.

My old FM had them. They fix to the front bumper. My old girl had a steel front bumper and they were fitted with light section Tek screws. The kit comes with a bracket bit it’s only a piece iod 25x25 aluminium angle which is available at most hardware stores.

For fitting to a plastic bumper you’d be better off using a Maxi Stitcher Tek screw

And dont forget the obligatory pieces of plastic coloured chain. :laughing:
