bolt on wheel arches?

[laam999]

does anyone have details on where to buy and how to install these? I personally think they look pretty good and would like to see if they're worth the price

Thanks all

(not posted of asked anything in a while, all my tool got stolen mid replacing floor and gettind a new welder is pricey when I'm trying to buy a house for the first time )

ok. There is a gentleman that sells them on retro rides, There are 3 types avalible differant sizes. I think they are about £100 for the set if im right.

Depends what kind of fitment your after, the more old school jdm bolt on fitment is usually cut away the outer arch, roll the inner arch to meet, roll the lip, weld the two together prime, paint and waxoil. Then mark drill th holes for the bolts prime, paint and waxoil the holes then fit. Id recomend using locking bolts or such so pikeys dont steal them, heard of this happening before.
Any more questions just ask, ive got photo's somewhere.

I am installing a set at the moment, I got the retro rides ones, they are only £45 for 4 but quality is not good, I.e. Gel coat and fibreglass have big voids between them

I have also had to modify them a lot to fit, there are a few pics here and what has to be done to original arches....

I might make myself a set of these, and if the quality is there i might open the floor to you guys. Fibreglass with Gel coat to start with and then maybe bare carbon. As stated everything i make for myself as a trial fit.

Alex, not sure what flare you are thinking, but if you want to work together on these drop me a pm, i have a few bits i'm doing at the moment that i would like to eventually do in Carbon

Would be useful if you could get a mould off Neils arches once they're done. I'd also like a copy of Neils bonnet that doesn't weigh as much as his does

any other bits Phil

Ps. Alex - i'm only up the road from you!

Do want a carbon fibre neil? Im pretty sure if i could borrow him for a day i could plaster cast him, and then mock you him up in carbon! A lovely garden ornament!

I guess we could leave it in the paddock at TSS events to make up for him not being ready again

Woodsport does bolt on arches for the mk1 now I think
