How is the mud flap bracket attached to the vehicle?

A plate is welded or bolted to the fender, and a support wire runs from that plate down to a rod connected to the mud flap.

What holds the mud flap in position?

A rod connected to the mud flap supports it, with a support wire running from the rod up to the fender-mounted plate.

Does the diagram include dimensions or part numbers?

No, the drawing only shows labeled components (fender, support wire, rod, plate, quick disconnect hole, mud flap, tire) with no dimensions or part numbers.

This document is a simple CAD-style line drawing (blueprint) illustrating a homemade or custom mud flap bracket arrangement for a vehicle. The side-view diagram shows a tire with a mud flap hanging above/behind it, supported by a rod connected to the mud flap. A support wire runs diagonally from the rod up to a plate that is welded or bolted to the fender. The design includes a quick disconnect hole for a cotter pin or bolt, allowing the mud flap assembly to be easily removed or detached. Labeled callouts identify the fender, support wire, the rod connected to the mud flap, the plate welded or bolted to the fender, the quick disconnect hole for cotter pin or bolt, the mud flap itself, and the tire. The drawing contains no dimensions, part numbers, torque values, or year/model information — it serves purely as a conceptual layout for fabricating and mounting a supported, quick-release mud flap bracket. It was uploaded to a 1985 Ford Bronco gallery, though nothing in the drawing itself specifies vehicle applicability.
