Kaan W Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I am kind of in the process of fitting my veilside arches and wanted to know, once fitted and blended etc do you cut the existing arch out underneith to allow the springs to compress without rubbing issues with wider wheels? Also if you do have to trim this bit of arch how do the arch liners stay in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 You have to cut lots away otherwise you need to jack the rear right up, seal the gap between the inner and outer arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 You have to cut lots away otherwise you need to jack the rear right up, seal the gap between the inner and outer arch. Can you bridge the 2 skins with fibreglass or will this be too weak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parry_10 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 like I said if you want to do it properly and maximum clearance for wide wheels you need to cut the stock arch and then re strengthen it by welding NOT fibreglass, have a look in my thread 'parrys widebody and respray thread' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he just wanted to know the best way to go about fitting his vs arches to the original stock ones so I just based my answer on that.
