Hacker/Wacker Clod flares!

[Old Busted Hotness]

lowslowTJ's at it again, this time with flares for the Clod body

Just like the Hi-Lift flares, they fit perfectly and look just like their 1:1 counterparts. Attach with Shoe Goo, paint 'em any color you like (they come cast in high-quality white resin).

Get some by PM'ing lowslowTJ.

Stay tuned for more flares, this time the Hilux/Bruiser gets the flare treatment

They look really good. I love my set. As Stu said, they fit great and help keep the tires from sticking out to far.

[lowslowTJ]

[gearhead]

[lowslowTJ]

Those look awesome! My next project is going to be clod bodied, I already got the body, and I am definitely going to have to get some of these for it.

Ive got a set still sitting here that I havent used. I lost interest in my clod build....ugh. But I will be using the ones I got for teh F-350 finally. They are awesome and have great detail for being hand made.

Has anyone tried to screw them to the body as opposed to glueing them?

[lowslowTJ]

I know that Psygho was hell bent on bolting his set on to his F-350. I wonder if he ever figured out how. I am sure some very small machine screws and nuts would do the trick. I will look into it.

They dont even have to be in the indents you created. I was thinking to drill a few holes (3-4) and then counter shink them. Insert the screws, epoxy them inplace, then finish filling the hole with some putty and sand them smooth. Then just use the tamiya self locking/tighening nuts on the inside of the body with a little threadlock. Dont want to use nylone lock nuts or you would probably turn the screws inside the flare and have to re-putty and repair them.

I think these brass machine screws from McMaster-Carr would work on the toyota flares, and the others if the hardware mounting holes are enlarged a touch??

they are
Inch Thread Size
00-90
Thread Length
Fully Threaded
Length
1/2"
Decimal Size
.047"
Head Diameter
.089"

Part number:92482A235

they also have some 00-90 nuts....

I would be afraid of snapping them off, or ruining the look of the flare if I tried to screw them on using the molded in hardware mounting slot things.

[lowslowTJ]

yea they might look a bit wierd with flat head ends on them.

Do these fit on the Proline Blazer?
