Wheel arch extension

[AlexD333]

I know a few of you have done this.

Any tidy suggestions? A good material or a good kit?

If I end up getting steel wheels I will go for a bit of a negative offset and might get arches too :thumb2

there is no dedicated arch extension that I can find so I have got some 6mm conveyor rubber which I am going to screw under the arches somehow.
on my old terrano I bought the plastic strips which also screw up under the arches.

I swear someone mentioned something as simple as some rubber matting or summat like that? :augie :lol

 

[elty001]

Was probably me the other week mate.

Built on a fourtrak chassis, engine and running gear if it's the same one I have seen at Kirton a few years ago.

I bet its damn capable too being so small and light :naughty

This is the stuff I have got to make the wheel arch extensions.
Just got to make some clamping straps so it follows the shape of the arch when fitted with no saggy floppy bits in between the fasteners.

 

[AlexD333]

Lots of pictures please Elty!!! I will need some of is after my next job is sorted :sly

 

[elty001]

Fitted the rubber under the arches yesterday.looks a bit agricultural but it does the job.

Was hoping to make some clamping strips but we didn't have anything at work suitable.
Will have to get some laser cut out of 3mm plate.

 

[AlexD333]

That looks good me thinks, only issue I have is lack of bumpers to bolt to :lol

 

[elty001]

There is that:lol:lol
