Anyone know what these are?

Postby gazpman » Sat Nov 01, 2014 4:46 pm

I've just dug these out of a box of bits and can't see on my car what they actually are. I'm sure someone on here will know.

Guessing at splash protector guard things for the front wings? Fit between the wing and bulkhead to stop mud collection and corrosion. ....
maybe?

Sell them to me :D

Correct, splash guards, go under the front wings to stop muck building up.

The question is, are they HA, HB or HC splash guards? I'm guessing HC.

I think the HB ones were made from fibre board, not sure about HA.

Splash guards made from fibre board? The words chocolate and teapot spring to mind. I wonder just how long they lasted?

Those would be ideal to masks as GRP mould from.

They are not HC. Someone said not HA, so any advance for them being HB... To be honest, I don't think so. :?
