Rear Arches

has anybody out there performed surgery on the 'short' arch to bring it out to the same width as the near side arch?
I need to extend mine and would appreciate any tips/experiences from anyone out there that has done it.

cheers

One arch isn't just "short". The leading edge of one is 1" wider than the other and the trailing edge of the other one is 1" wider. You'll have to shop them both in two to get them symetrical!

It would be easier to make two new plugs for all the size of em, how much wider u want em, I take it you are increasing the width of the wheels?

Hugh,
Not trying to make them wider, just symetrical as one is an inch wider than the other at the front and the other one is an inch wider at the back.

I cut and shut my arches and the body overall

Hi Viper,
How's it going?
You finished that Avon yet?
Cheers,

I haven't looked at it for months now, just can't find any enthusiasm..

Yep,
I've now acquired a book chassis and am building a bespoke BEC.
Avon going up for sale in the new year.
