Re: 46-50 inner fender side splashers

I looked for something L shaped like that and didn't find anything the correct size either -- or want to buy a large quantity. Decided to order a 10' length of 1/8 thick square shaped rubber edge trim from McMaster and cut off one leg. That worked out to one side of the L at 7/8 and the other at 3/4 & figured once it was installed it would be sufficient. Unless I miscalculated and missed a piece somewhere, the 10' length should work out to be just right. Around $25 so probably not cost effective but it's only money.
I modified the channel by laying a 3/4" wide piece of flat metal bar stock in the center to use as a straight edge and then cut straight down with a utility knife to remove one leg. That left a nice straight edge which should look satisfactory. Had a strip of 3/4 x 1/8 left over which might be useful somewhere else.
Haven't decided how to mount the rubber exactly. Staples are not going to happen again so it will be pop rivets or binding screws. Ordered some of each in black and will pick the one that looks best -- or at least looks the most finished.
