Inner arches?
As ya'll know, im using TR-6 front wings on my locost.
Im thinking about what to do on the inside of the arch to prevent sh1t from the road finding its way to the chassis/engine.
I was thinking about attaching some L shaped brackets to the inside of the arch and attaching some rubber sheet to it, abit like an oversized
mudflap.
Would this be enough if only the rear of the arch (ie 12 - 3 oclock if looking from the side)?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

why not panel with ally sheet a lot lighter than rubber
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I would recommend that you rivet a thin rubber strip to the inner arch so it meets the wing this will give you really good seal. This is the method
used years ago. My Austin a35 had this method of sealing
