Gravel guard beading

scotty timmerman · Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2021 12:17 pm Post subject: Gravel guard beading

I’m looking for gravel guard beading. It is like fender beading but a smaller diameter. I have bought a few things but have not found anything like the original. I have a small piece from an nos set that I bought. Does anyone have a source? Thanks

What worked for me was to go to the local auto part store and source out some small diameter tubing, slice it and then install. Here is a photo of it installed. I had the over riders off, slip it on. I did the same for my gravel guards.

Thanks for the suggestions. I would like to find something as close to original in size and color as possible. I am trying to match a pair of front guards to my nos rear.
