Are you sure that it is a front? Sounds cheap.

Keep it for a spare Sam.

Phill - speaking of the 'one rock' scenario - do you know if the optional CV boot protectors are avaialble or NLA or perhaps aftermarket available?

Give a VW dealer a call. The parts are on my web page.
There are aftermarket for sale or you could make them from conveyer belt rubber.

Hey Mark there is a few place online to get aftermarket jobs, e.g.

I have a guy here in Germany who just build 100 sets of these in
stainless steel... I already offered them to Larry Chase to ask around
in the US, but feedback has been more or less non-existent. If any of
you guys are interested, I can ask again.

NLA guys. However the aftermarket pieces are just as good. Some are reputed to be better than the originals.
It's basically a mudflap installed sideways. Seth Hatfield at Mastercraft near Santa Barbara, California sells an
supposed improved version:
 
 
 
They use a rubber material instead of the softer wetsuit type material on the originals. They are really very simple
affairs. A good sheetmetal fabricator should be able to make the brackets. The flaps just rivet on.

If it's guy name Flo Lemke who makes them, I will run away as fast as I can. Paid for parts from that

Hi Martin

Sounds interesting the stainless steel, however, if the same fellow as  Ben has dealt with then no good - once bitten twice shy....

regards
Mark.

Mark,
 
Why can't someone in OZ just make this stuff? Phill's got a sample -- unless it is already attached to his Syncro.
The parts are incredibly simple in construction. I was looking over my old emails and realized the Mastercarft Motors
protectors might also now have stainless steel brackets.
 
If someone wants to try making these things, I can dig out my spare original protectors and trace the outline for
distribution to the group. For the record, I paid $50 (USD) for a pair of brand new genuine VW versions.

Hi Ben - it would make sense to do them locally for sure - as you say, fabricating the protector and the bracket accurately for fitment will require a good diagram of the original.

Phill has a small diagram here:

Phill,
If your are refering to the measurments of the CV Boot Protector, I would be interested in geting a copy of that as I was planing to make a couple of set up.  I have made a CAD drawing off a photo but just need to check it next time I have the front apart to make sure I got it accurate.  Getting the dimension would save me some time.  From the photos I have seen of the protectors, the rubber sheild seems to break on them first. Would this be right?  I was planing to make this replaceable so that the whole unit did not need replacing just the rubber protector.
 
Cheers,
 
Michael R

Michael,
I have just found my cardboard templates!
There are 3 pieces to make
1/ Mounting bracket from 2mm steel
2/Reinforcing Plate 185x30x2mm
3/ Reinforced rubber 5mm

The rubber is easily replaceable anyway.

I can send you some templates if you can draw them for me and make them into a .jpg or .gif, I will put them on my web site for the rest of the members.

Email me your postal address.
