FAQs

What size wheels is this mudguard designed for?

This mudguard is suitable for 15"" and 16"" wheels, specifically for tandem (dual wheel) axle configurations.

What material is the mudguard made from?

It is constructed from high-impact, injection-molded black polyethylene, which offers flexibility and crack resistance.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

Yes, the mudguard is supplied with 3 large, heavy-duty steel brackets designed for mounting tandem mudguards.

Is this mudguard heavier than metal alternatives?

No, it is designed to be lighter than metal mudguards, making it easier to handle and install.

What are the exact dimensions of the mudguard?

The mudguard measures approximately 1750mm (69 inches) in length, 200mm (8 inches) in width, and 530mm (21 inches) in height.

How should I clean and maintain the mudguard?

Clean regularly with water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check and tighten mounting hardware.

Can I cut or modify the mudguard?

While the material is somewhat workable, significant modification is not recommended as it could compromise structural integrity and mounting points.

Troubleshooting

Mudguard is loose or rattling

Ensure all mounting brackets are securely fastened to the vehicle frame and that the mudguard is firmly attached to the brackets. Check for any missing or loose bolts.

Mudguard appears to be cracking

Inspect for signs of over-tightening during installation or if the mudguard has been subjected to extreme impact. The material is flexible, but extreme force can cause damage. Ensure brackets are not deforming the mudguard.

Brackets show signs of rust

The brackets are plated for corrosion protection. Surface rust can be cleaned with a wire brush and treated with a rust inhibitor or protective coating if desired. Ensure the mudguard is properly secured to prevent excessive movement that could abrade the plating.
