Can you legally flatfender a tj? will it fall foul of mot laws for sharp edges? due to it being a post '95 design?

i doubt if they would even notice, probably too busy looking at my tyres that stick out and my illegal numberplates

it does appear in the MOt testers manual but I am not sure they can read lol

Most flat fender/tube fender kits or DIY jobs I have seen are 'tube' and therefore nice and smooooth and forgiving to your pinkies.

They are well hard and would not deform (I thought that was the idea?) if they hit anything/one.......

On that note I remember the Chrysler FTE modified TJs that came to Jeepfest when it ran..... they had pieces of stainless running from top of bumper to under indictor on fender...... to replace what had been removed when they did the lift/body lift

Guess it stops chavs from stagediving thro the gap and clogging up your muds......

yes I would think you would be ok with a small radiused edge, simply cutting it off with and angle grinder would be stupid.

the radii has to be large and not fail a "tennis ball test". so your std 1"+OD tube would be no problem. Most MOT testers would question the modification.

have you thought about a job with the ministry Panic
