Description

Overview

Anti-Sail Bracket 24in x 18in Mudflap keeps a mudflap from lifting and flexing at road speed, so the flap stays closer to its working position. It supports the lower section of the flap, which helps reduce tearing around mounting holes and edge cracking over time. Because the bracket limits “sailing” movement, it also helps spray suppression flaps do their job more consistently in wet conditions.

Features

• Helps reduce mudflap wear by limiting flap movement
• Supports mudflaps up to 1in thick, including many spray suppression styles
• Steel wire frame for strength in day-to-day heavy vehicle use
• Zinc coating improves corrosion resistance in road spray environments

As a result, you can often extend mudflap life and reduce nuisance replacements.

Specifications and Materials

Construction: steel with an anti-corrosion zinc coat finish.

Wire diameter: 0.31in (about 8mm) steel wire.

Suitability: suits 24in (W) x 18in (L) mudflaps.

Part number: CA5497.

Compatibility and Fitment

Use this bracket where a mudflap needs extra support behind the flap to stop it folding back. However, confirm the mudflap width and drop match your current setup, and check that the bracket clears the tyre through full suspension travel. If you run thicker spray suppression flaps, measure thickness at the mounting area first, then confirm the bracket can clamp the flap without distorting it. Also check bolt spacing and mounting points on the hanger or bracketry, because some installations use different hole positions.

Compliance and Safety

Mudflaps and spray suppression equipment form part of the vehicle’s overall safety setup, so keep the full assembly in good condition. If a flap has torn mounting holes, replace it rather than relying on a support bracket to hold it together. Likewise, inspect for sharp edges, loose fasteners, or contact marks on the tyre, because rubbing can lead to heat build-up and premature failure. After fitting, re-check fasteners after the first trip, especially if the vehicle sees corrugated roads or off-highway work.

Trailer Applications

Common applications include semi-trailers, B-double sets, dog trailers, and rigid trucks that run 24in x 18in mudflaps behind the wheels. Anti-Sail Bracket 24in x 18in Mudflap also suits many chassis and mudguard hanger layouts where wind and spray cause repeated flap movement. If you run multiple axles, installing brackets consistently across positions helps keep spray control predictable, and it can reduce uneven mudflap wear between axles.
