Rustyrangie Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi again all, I've just made up a couple of rear mudflap brackets for my Rangie Classic using the remains of the rusted out originals as patterns. The originals have an elongated hole approx 2" by 1/2" (50mm X 12mm) at one side. I can see no purpose for this hole so I haven't copied it into my replacements. Just out of interest does anyone know what these holes are for, or is it another LR mystery? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Possibly to allow for correct alignment of the mudflap with the tyre tread area. these should help. Edited March 18, 2007 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 And they hold the L-shaped bracket for the lower rear quarter panel, so it can be 'tweaked' in position..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyrangie Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks western, the bits I made up are called "retainer" or "panel, mudflap mounting" in your pics. They don't show the holes I mentioned either so who knows what they were for. Maybe your tyre alignment idea is correct, hadn't thought of that.

Highway_Star Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 The long holes are for the rear drain tubes from the sunroof, if you have one. On mine there's a 1/2" ish hose poking out othem, held in place with a P clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
