911 Carrera RallyCross Project

Mud flaps are essential for Rally Bling. They also help keep stone chips at bay. We normally use Rally Armor Urethane in red but recently discovered these light and cheaper offerings from Sparco so we thought we'd try them out. So, how to mount them? On previous projects we have drilled holes in the fender flanges and inner fender wells but the 911's fender flanges are kind of thin. Might have to get creative. The right side should be easy as we already have flat aluminium surface protecting the oil lines:






but the left side might be more difficult:




However, after offering up the mud flaps it was obvious that a few strategically placed aluminium brackets attached to existing fasteners would provide the necessary support. The fronts would just require drilling into the inner footwell and rocker panel end caps:





The top bolt is clamping the fender flange between two large washers. We will probably replace them with even larger ones in the future though.



I have always found it tricky to get mud flaps vertical, even heights and roughly in the center of the tire. I think this one worked out pretty well first attempt though they may need raising at some point.
