Brookers Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Has anyone fitted a arch kit to a 4 door? Im happy with what im doing on the front arches but it's cutting the doors that i'm a bit puzled about so if anyone has any advice i would be much apreciated. Cheers Brookers Quote
teslo Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Hi, you will have to cut form your rear doors approx. this... No big deal. Just cut smaller pieces and measure more often. Quote

(measure once - measure twice - thrice is the answer) and buy yourself a nibbler it's worth every penny cheers Bade Quote
Brookers Posted November 5, 2007 Author Posted November 5, 2007 Thanks for that, im hopeing to get on with them this weekend, new tyres turn up on the 14th! Did you fold a lip back on the fronts? Quote
teslo Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Did you fold a lip back on the fronts? yes. Quote
bishbosh Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 I folded a lip on one side and didn't bother on the other. the arches are stiff enough to not need the lip, which incidently fills up with crud all the time. Quote
jules Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 this is me stuck but you can see my arches I filled the gaps with mastic to stop the crud fulling them up. Quote
landybehr Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 errr ... jules ... where exactly did you want to drive to in that pic ?? looks like a very brave attempt to drive up a truly vertical wall, being at a 90deg. angle to the track ? this is me stuck but you can see my arches I filled the gaps with mastic to stop the crud fulling them up.

jules Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I drove in and Will Warn can back me up when I said " my 90 used to struggle with this but Johns not far away" then promptly got wedged. There is a track strait on but its still tough going for a 100' truck its not visible in the pic. That's why I like the site its very technical driving but can be a little damaging Quote
