Re[2]: T3 mud flaps (again)

[Toby Erkson <Toby_Erkson@ccm.jf.intel.com>]

There's some dude in Grants Pass, Oregon (that's pronounced 'orgun') who 
sells them for $65.  I had asked the list who wanted mud flaps and if there 
was a big enough request I was going to ask the dude for a group/list 
discount.  Only four people responded.  Not enough so no deal.

Don't buy the square mudflaps that you see advertised in the VW magazines 
and in Rock Mountain Motor Works.  They only work with non-Type III 
vee-dubs.  Trust me, I ordered a pair from RMMW because they advertised 
them as fitting the T3 -- bullsh!@.  They would fit if I made my own 
mounting bracket...luckily they took them back without hassle.

For those of you who like details, here they are:
311 821 805 D  1 set of mud flaps black 360mm with brackets
     to Ch. No. 311 2108 457     option M290

I have installed three sets of Type III rear mud flaps (and love them!).
...
The entire process takes 20-30 minutes and is a "1" on the difficulty fac=
tor (from 1 to 5).
I've always bought the black ones with the white VW logo.  I've paid from=
 $50-100 per pair for new ones.  Gets my vote for an inexpensive, easy =
to find true-T3 accessory!
