Trot down to a trampoline maker & get an offcut /end roll of the spring guard rubber matting they use .  Cheap as its of little value to them  , tuff stuff to tame gibbers     :cheers:

I see the big green place is selling 5mm thick mats made from recycled car tyres. 1800x1200 for $54. I wonder how it would stand up used as mud flaps

I bought some "6mm insertion rubber" from a local supplier called Calstar, cost $75 for 1500mm x 1200mm. Used it to extend current mud flaps plus going to run it across the whole underside of the Van.

Conveyor belt is the go  :cup:  it's tough, thick and reinforced with layers of fabric. ( ours have been fitted for the best part of 10 years and are going strong even after 1000's of km off road ).

 I've never had to buy it  >:D , but you could Google it for sellers in the Brisbane area or ring around a few quarries, concrete plants, asphalt plants etc to see if they have any old /used offcuts lying around that they would part with for a box of gold or similar !!  The worst they can do is say no  :-\

Insertion rubber has the fabric woven in like belts . It works well and easy to get at clarks, just stupid expensive that's all. The stuff bunnings sells tears without the fabric in it. I know I tried it under the van.

Do an Ebay search, there is at least one bloke up there selling conveyer belt rubber. Down here in Newcastle I tried various places and none would bother selling me any unless it was a minimum order of $150.00 to $200.00. Might have to check out clarks for the insertion rubber. Most of the non-reinforced stuff around is too flexible and blows back under a bit of speed.

Our local Produce/Rural Supplies place sells stuff for round yards - horse floats - cattle yards etc
Different thickness and widths for a good price - can't remember $$$ now, would make great mud flaps  ;)
