OK bear with me...I've been up since 0330 and I am fading fast...
Since I am the lucky owner of two low-mile 33x12.50 MTs that are ruined beyond any hope of repair (and I am too fat for a 15" tire swing) ...here's my idea:
Jigsaw the sidewall maybe at approx 15" radius, then saw each in half along the circumfrence at the c/l of the tread
That leaves me with 4ea 6.25" wide x 112" (approx) flares :D
Slit the sidewalls to allow them to be straightened, and attach to the fenders with .25"dia x .75"l nuts & bolts with washers.
Presto... :cool: new flares that are built to take abuse, yet springy enough to laugh at rocks (well at least laugh down at the rocks that got them there)
What y'all think? :viking: or :anon:
Thanks
