Does anyone have or know where to get a set of new rubber splash shields for a pd4106?

My back ones are gone and I see more and more coaches without them than with. They are more for looks than function. They might help keep the water spray down on other cars when it rains; possibly catch a rock or two. Replacements are way, way down on the bottom of my list. I think new ones are ~$90 + shiping each. FWIW.

Houndbus,

I cut mine off on my 4905.

I think it looks 100% better without them.

I like the gap that shows between the tire and body.

But if your goal is to maintain the classic or original look, put them back on.

I have some available.

they keep your bus cleaner in the rain and snow by not allowing tire spray to exit the wheel wall as much

They keep you from cracking your head open when working on the brakes.
