Title: I'm not sure what to call it
Post by: coors909 on July 14, 2016, 09:16:09 PM: I want covers made for the inner wheel well on my tandem axel trailer. Can you buy them or do you have to make some?

I just replaced what was there . But 3 holes in the round lip of the fender with stainless bolts . I put bolts and nut on plywood then carpet over head not to scratch the boat .

I got a set of these and going to tack them in this week. Just have to paint them. Just make sure they clear your hull

Those look nice. How did they come out on your trailer?
