    Woodsport Rivet on wide arch kit

    Hi guys, i made this set of "rivet on" arches a few years ago as a one off for a customer with a 2gr Mk1, only now they are being molded so that they can be sold in numbers.

    This wide arch set bolts straight on and is extremely well fitting, 3" wider at the rear and 1" wider at the front per side.

    The final product will not be ready for about 4-5 weeks so bear with me, but as per usual will be our normal high quality product.

    Pics of the original arches below....





    Pricing is unknown right now, but if you are provisionally interested stick your name below, thanks Paul.

    Potentially paul but it depends on a number of things.
    I am thinking about doing this as a temporary think for a couple of years until I have the car restored.
    I assume nothing ireversible has to happen?

    Cheers

    Some drill holes in the original panel, nothing that can't be fixed

    They are designed to fit with side skirts arent they?

    The problem i have is that when the rear arches were done for the previous owner, they replaced them with metal but fabricated the sections themselves. This meant when i tried to fit side skirts before, they did not fit where the spats are. The shape is not correct. This is part of what i want fixed when i have the car restored.

    I have new wings for the front even though the ones on are great. So i am not too worried about drilling holes.

    The matching to a side skirt may be the issue for me unfortunately.

    I think you could fit them without the skirts Chrys! Would be awesome!

    These are designed to work with the skirts so I'm not sure on that one...

    Yes any wide arch is going to mean either new wheels or spacers.
