The mudguard is designed for an offset fit, meaning it sits away from the side of the trailer. The included brackets are made from heavy-duty steel construction, plated for corrosion protection, and feature pre-drilled mounting holes with slight elongation for adjustment. The mudguard itself is constructed from high-impact, injection-molded black polyethylene, known for its flexibility, crack resistance, and ability to absorb small knocks without damage, similar to car bumper material. It is lighter and safer than metal alternatives. Dimensions of the mudguard are approximately 62cm long, 18.5cm wide, and 23cm high, with a flat flange at the rear for easy mounting. The large brackets are ideal for mounting tandem mudguards, spacing them from the trailer body, and providing extra strength. Bracket dimensions are approximately 21cm long, 7.5cm high, and 4cm wide.
This guide helps users effectively install and maintain the AB Tools Plastic Mudguard Fender with Offset Fit and 2 Large Brackets. Ideal for trailer owners seeking durable and reliable mud protection, this product offers superior flexibility and impact resistance compared to metal alternatives. However, users should note that proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
