Mariano,

Nice find, it certainly looks like a CMP splash guard or mud flap (not sure how these are called in the parts list).

I am interested if they would be for sale.

Regards,
Hanno

Since my cab 11 is an early REAL CMP it has real rubber mud flaps none of that second generation canvas make do ..........

Makes you wonder what else is gathering dust down Brazil way..... we got original mirrors ....... I got an original sealed nos headlight blackout lens ....... we know they have relatively complete UC..... and now the mud flaps....

They were acquired many years ago by a member of our association, and was the one who said, which the seller had said they were from CMP .... A seller, we are to buy a lot of parts to complete our LAAT, and as now he had not these parts, was that this member donated them...

I just had these made for my C15A by John and Mary Canvas in GB. GBP 20 for the set of four. Will post Picture when they arrive.

They also make CMP window canvas and the rear tarpaulin. Not sure about seats.

I'm on the waiting list for some as well! How long did it take for you to get yours?

The ones mentioned earlier by Morrisson on the C60 were made by me... exact repros of an NOS one
The photo does look like the rear mudflaps... Front mudflaps were much smaller.

In one of the old CONVOY magazines is the plan for making repros- dimensions and construction methods.
If I recall, the middle section has a thin layer of filler- horsehair at the time. and the bottom strip has a stiffener..something like ten-test- at the time..I rebuilt with 1/16th steel to have the stiffens and a tad weight
