Mabett Mud Flap Bracket issue?

[SkiSquatch]

Anyone successfully install the Mabett Mud Flaps? My brackets don't look right and would end up angling the mud flap backwards...does this look right? @Mabett tried contacting you as well.

Yea, mine looks like it's not square like yours, thanks!

Mine seemed the same way at first. Took a little playing with but they did line up correctly.

They're okay for daily drive, dirt roads, and mild trails, but they will snap off on a serious trail.

Thanks...recommendations?

Depends upon how aggressive a trail rider and off-roader you are. I have the RokBlokz, which I like. Rather than re-write a few posts, search "RokBlokz" and attach my username. Removing them is a snap, but re-installing them isn't quite as fast and easy as I had hoped, but I still recommend them.

Check out Gatorback, also this thread. Lots of posts, lots of opinions.

I have replied.

Followup - @Mabett has been very responsive and is helping me out with the issue.

Mine were kind of similar, but not as severe an angle. If they survive a winter in AK, I'll be impressed, and that will be a recommendation for sure.

My only annoyance with the front pair is that the one mounting location with the most pressure on it is one of those stupid OEM plastic screw mounts. If there was a way for a nut clip and bolt like the other two, it'd be a pretty robust mounting setup.

Both of mine were bent at different angles. I wound up bending both of them to this angle. There is little to no stress on the factory plastic clips. Installed last night.

Thanks....I don't have a good engough vice to bend them. @Mabett was good enough to refund my purchase.

I just tried to install mine and the brackets were the same. There is no way it will reach the lower back tab.

I would try and bend them. But if not - send them back or ask for replacement tabs. I have had my Mabett Flaps for almost 1 1/2 years......Love them. It will be worth the wait. They are just the right height and width. Looks great and performs as should.

Mine worked, but the nuts and bolts are not stainless or galvanized and are rusting.
