Found these images of the front and back flaps in an old ODK thread and thought it I would repost them here (hope that's ok Blumby!):

[Linked Image]

They still have the rubber guards which aren't often seen. I've been told that these were available in an aftermarket form at some point, but differ from the originals by not having the Victa logo stamped on the reverse.

here is the original thread for those that are interested:
Predicta flaps

Also, a rear flap has come up on ebay at the moment. For anyone that plans on bidding (not me!), It's worth mentioning that it is missing a bunch of parts including the height adjuster lever, idler adjusment screw and carburettor setting slide, plus the cable. Also the operating arm looks to just about rusted through, but aside from that it's all there lol. at $450 it is probably already overpriced, especially considering its condition, but it'll be interesting to see how high it goes!

Also, cheers Blue - I've not had much time of late to post on here, but I get a real kick out of finding info on these mowers and sharing it - for what it's worth.

And Jonesy, regarding the image with Merv, I reckon that one of those badges may just turn up some day. Maybe they were just made of cardboard or some other perishable material, hence their rarity? At least we know now that they did exist!
