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!

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.
