I was going to say that but didn't want to hurt his feelings.

Grrrrrrrrr........ Spent all day stuffing around doing a job I had thought would take a couple of hours max. Fitting the factory wheel arch flares & the non factory mud flaps. If I had been willing to pay the crazy money Nissan wanted for their wide wheel pack mud flaps the job would have been all over & done in an hour, but instead I have had to fabricate brackets to mount the flaps. The factory flaps mount with three fasteners each, two of which are plastic 'scrivets'. Of course the bloody scrivets supplied with the flares are too short for the aftermarket flaps which are thicker. Twice I attempted to stick some plastic inside the flares with you beaut Loctite 406 & 771 primer. All looked good until I was screwing into it & it fell off inside the flare. I lost count of the number of times I had the flare on & off. Loctite and epoxy putty finally got things sorted. Hope so, 'cos once the flares are stuck on with the supplied double sided tape there will be no access to their inside.

My arc welding has improved & good enough for the brackets, (which will provide stronger mounting than the factory set up) but determining hole positions was a bit harder. Having to cut the metal strips out of old scrap laying around took a bit of time too.
The light beat me tonight so I have left the brackets, screw heads & washers painted & drying overnight. Hopefully I'll get it all together tomorrow morning & be able to get into town to have the new wheels & tyres fitted.
