Just made up some lawn edging flares for my vit and there was enough left over to do another set, and I was bored.

Measurements are approx. 110mm for the fronts and 121mm for the rears (based on LWB wheel arches, don't know if SWB's are different).

PM me for Pick-up address cause I'm not posting, don't be lazy :P

Cheers

Just curious, how wide are they and what did it cost you per meter?

I need some flares badly but all the proper ones are fucking expensive!

They're 75mm wide so I reckon they'd be wide enough to fit your monsters under them. You can also get them as 100mm wide if not...

The 75mm was about $2.50 a metre and the 100mm was $3.20 from memory, and they come in 10 metre rolls which is enough for 2 sets, apparently :P .

I would have loved some proper flares but for 25 bucks I'm more than happy settling for these.

Oh shit, I guess i'll make a special trip later this week then. Too bad the closest bunnings is about an 1.5hrs away.

100mm would probably be better for me anyway.
Cheers for the info :)

You might want to call ahead and make sure they have them, 1.5 hours to find out they're out of stock would be a right kick in the teeth.. It's just called 'Lawn Edge', ALM Industries product, 100mm x 10m is the one you'd be after.

Mate, $80 from clark rubber isn't all that expensive. they have 2 sizes to choose from, I got the smaller one which is just perfect.

They are pretty solid, really dense plastic stuff. I thought they'd be sort of floppy (lol) but they are quite stiff (giggity).

Maybe the Clark Rubber near you, but the closest one to me (1.5hrs away) want about $20/m, and from what I measured I want 6meters
