bugger, i never sent any templates for the flaps to you guys who only ordered brackets 
If you can open up autocad files (or dxf files) i can email them to you. Sorry, never thought about it

If anyone from this Groupbuy wants the new age templates on 1 large sheet of paper (to save having to stick 12 A4 sheets together), then PM your address and I will post them to you. (If thats ok with you Austen).
If Austen can send me the classic template I will do the same for that.

Cut mine out yesterday, only took about an 90 mins (taking it very easy). Cutting the main shape out was a doddle and only took 40mins (using a new stanley blade and an 18" metal straight edge). It's the corners, especially internal, that you need to take your time on.
The Pritt stick idea works a treat and you can peel template off after and just wash flaps to get residue off. (Not used to washing me flaps..!)
Really pleased with results, wasn't looking forward to doing it but was actually quite easy and therapeutic.
Should be fitting them today.
Cheers Austen,
Jason

If anyone needs templates, Austen could mail me the templates, i can convert them to a JPEG or something, and mail them too the guys who need templates but dont have autocad

Who did you post it with - was hoping mine would turn up today, as teh address was my work address, so I won't get them tomorrow either - waiting on a wifi router too - bloody postal/courier service
Can't wait to fit 'em, perhaps we need a Austen's Group Buy Mudflap corner in Members gallery

Tony mine came in the post not courier, if that's of use to you.
Many Thanks Austen mine arrived this morning... great quality everything
What's the Pritt stick idea then do you cut the templates out then glue them to the flaps to cut around ?
Anyone with a picture breakdown on how to fit classic flaps would be helpful, I will not be able to fit mine until the week after japfest as the cars going in to have a little paintwork done on it.
Members Gallery thread sounds like an excellent idea !!
