Title: Wheel arches
Post by: Moleman on 08, April, 2015, 10:02:18 PM
I have taken off my wheel arches for some much needed repairs due to 4 years of abuse & the odd traffic cone.
I have taken them to Ed's place called Dynamic Mouldings Ltd who says it will be a really easy job to do.  8)


Traffic cone.  ::) They are also going to try putting in some more strengthen ribs to reduce some movement.  :)

There is quite a bit of gel coat cracking over both arches if you look hard enough.  :(

Have you considered using cast iron? Or maybe some challenger tank ones, would sort them abusive cones out. ;D ;D ;D
