Wide on the rear, skinny on the front?

[slow transit]

I actually want them to stick out. At least on the rear. Hence the subject line of the thread.

You will get pulled by the local plod if they stick out

Well, that's why I asked if somebody knows where I can get the plastic wheel arches for the LWB Twin wheel tranny from. I know I'll have problems with the wheels sticking out, if I don't do anything about them. It'll probably even fail the MOT.

I just cannot find the bloody things. Even trying to find a photo of them seems impossible. I know they exist because I've seen them, and there are similar models for the old MK1/2 vans. I might just get myself some of those and weld them on......

im sure any of these could be made to fit

Yeah, had a look at the landy ones. Not entirely sure the older series 2/3 would fit, as they are quite square. The transit connect plastic arches look tasty but I can't find them on the net.... have been hunting around for the last 4 hours!!

I reckon the easiest way to solve this problem is to buy another set of rear wheel arch repair panels, cut them out and weld the bloody things on. It'll be cheaper as well, going by what the plastic thingies seem to cost. Grrrr.....

Nice one Luke!

if I have to fabricate them I'll make sure I take some photos and I'll post them on here. So far that seems to be the easiest and cheapest option as I've got plenty of cutting discs, welding wire and time!

[Luke]

you know it makes sence wide is good

just got to make sure the door doesnt smash into the arch

[mich]

I was thinking about welding that side door closed actually. I don't need it and I'm only using the van to transport my motorbike to/from trackdays and future club racing. I just want it to a little bit more presentable.

[Luke]

weld some hinges on it - suicide style

someones got to do it one day

[mich]

don't give me any ideas!
