Post #10 here shows a picture of the rear mudguards on a C15A cab12:

Note: rubber mudflaps on 11 and 12 cab trucks.

Hopefully someone can provide input on the 'metal' part of the mudguard!

Owen.

Cheers Owen that's very helpful.

I assume the metal part of the mudguard is just flat plate, would this be bolted or welded back to the tub?

Cheers,


Paul

Here's a photo of my rear arch. I'm guessing the metal mudguard is fixed back to the raking bulkhead of the tub.

Thanks for any assistance.

Awwwww quality if Tony Sudds.

When you get time could you send me photos of your hood bows?

And while your there any chance of photos of your engine compartment?

Cheers,

Paul
