Cut away fenders- allow desert use of over-sized tyres
One of the items I have which may be of interest to MLU members is a pair of Desert cut away fenders. These are currently on a "bitza" truck I have put together from leftovers and my kids are learning to drive in it. I will attach a picture. The fender have been modified, most likely from new by removing some metal and then rolling the edge over a steel rod to strengthen them. Brackets have also been trimmed and the running board is modified to suit the different profile. I imagine some of the LRDG trucks had similar mods. I can take some close up pictures if anyone is interested.
Tim.
PS
The chassis is from a 1952 Chevrolet RHD Aussie delivered utility, does not quite fit perfectly but the kids love it!
