Unhappy Stone Guards - Harrison - Wanted!

Hey all.... A looooong shot! I need a pair of stone gaurds (rear gaurd deflector) for my Harrison. I have spoken to Don at SNAKEBITE but his maker is no longer doing them and he is yet to find anyone else who does.

He is so busy with other stuff.......

I need some!!!!!

Does anyone have any sitting on their shelf that they don't need for a while!!! It poo's me that I can only source this part from one supplier.... SB don't have any and can't tell me when they might!!!

Any alternatives................ quickly!!

Can anyone help????? (I'll bet ya's all a carton knowone can!!!)

What about black leather ones, they are all the trend in the US. They attach to your soft top mount and then use two press clips under the wheel arch to attach. Felt backed, removed when you wash the car etc.



You could also use 3M clear stick-on material if you don't already have too many chips. Or black stick-on material if you have chips. Or static cling.

Question Stone Guards

Craig, that does look rather cool and retro BUT I wanted the polished stainless for the BLING (Don't say a word OzVenom). It just makes a nice compliment to the other chrome bits......

I'll keep thinking!!!

G-Force has them for $350 a pair.

If they don't fit, get Scotty to reshape them.

No doubt he would laugh his socks off at you for being a "Bling Merchant"

It would be really interesting to know how much the shape varies from Harrison. Don used to sell at least 3 different shapes.

I`ve got a pair for a DRB

I flared my rear guards to get the 335`s under &
the set I have, don`t fit anymore.

If you ask Don, if they are similar enough, maybe you
can modify them.

Regards

Nick

Spookster,

use 3M until you find an alternative... I have used it for a few years and it works out OK.

When you drive, just make sure there is a drop dead stunner in the passenger seat and no one will notice the shiny bits are missing.

Thanks everyone!
Nick, I'll speak to Don today and see what he says...if its a possibility I'll definately PM you!
Cam, I have the 3M product on already and it has "saved" the paint but detracts a bit from the overall. I do have the hot chick too so I am doing my best!!! :-)
Bryan, thanks another option worth considering. Was hpoing for stainless but hey at this stage I'll take what I can get!
Craig, I emailed GForce to see what they have and their opinion on compatability. Waiting for a response!

Thanks again. SpookyPT!

I reckon if you joined both rear chrome spats together you still wouldn't cover one side!!!

Aluminum spats can be purchased by a guy that makes them on FFR site. He makes them custom to you car.

Rebel1....they may as well be for Carroll Shelby's himself as MR RMC chrome blingers won't fit this little harrisons wood duck!

Now if they were for a Harrison I'd have nicked them already. The last time I was over chatting up your lovely daughter she showed me them.... Geez they were cold on my bare bum!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehe :-)

You'll be happy to know that your daughter is safe now!! I've been tamed by a princess!!! Or maybe I've corrupted one! Yeah that sounds more likely!

P.S. Your not telling me your threatening to finish that boat of yours are you???? I know who has a really nice windscreen?????????????????

he he he
