BigBrother-84 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Hi people! Somebody has a solution? Exhaust pipe and RH mud flap are too close, and the flap tends to "melt". As far as I remember, I always had this issue with BigBrother. Maybe there are some moulded and rigid flaps (so they could be more vertical and distanced from the pipe) but I didn't find any that fit our trucks years. Flexible flaps follow the angle of the fender's contour, which results in an "angled" position. Thanks for suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 When you find a solution, please let me know. Darth destroyed the right side not long after I bought him on a run to Centre Hall PA towing our 30 ft 5th wheel from Newport News VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you put an insulating piece on the tail pipe? It wouldn't look very good, but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't look very good, but.... A little header wrap could make it look “ race-ready” Seriously though all i can think of would be some type of diagonal bracket much like the ones from the bed braces to the fender edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzFace2 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Thanks for suggestions, I'll study the question! On big rigs to keep the flaps from flapping they make cages that hold the flap from moving. I Google it and comes up as Anti Sail mud flap brackets. https://www.google.com/search?q=semi+truck+mud+flap+anti+sail&rlz=1C1KMZB_enUS571US571&ei=FueaYfH5MaKyytMPtqitkAs&oq=semi+truck+mud+flap+&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYCTIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjoHCAAQRxCwA0oECEEYAFCXB1jqGmDxU2gBcAJ4AIABeYgB-AySAQQxMS42mAEAoAEByAEIwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz I dont know if you could make something like this work?
