Hi,
Can someone kindly tell me what and and where I can get a mud flap screw for the rear beAraide mud flap.

I have a screw missing (often said but see pic ) and so want to replace it before it falls off.

Thanks

I replaced the screws with some new 10g, I think, could have been 12g Phillips Head screws from the hardware store & a large washer. Unscrew the other side to check size. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I changed all the clips and screws to stainless, replacing most of the screws with bolts and penny washers. Mainly because I've got loads of stainless stuff after helping to clear out an industrial unit for a friend - he was going to put it all in a skip !! Jules

I did use stainless, but the problem with stainless is galvanic corrosion. It will cause steel to rust. Better off using hot dipped galvanized screws.

If you can, separate stainless from steel as best as possible with nylon washers & sleeves & or Teflon tape. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
