Sparkymart Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 As above looking for a pair of rear arch stone guards for the kit body work wit standard fixed arches Thanks Martin
Mike424u Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Westfield had Carbon effect ones on offer £85 delivered, I think I just bought the last pair, but worth a phone call. Toybox Cars also sell them.
Sparkymart Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 Thanks Mike . I did look on the Westfield website but couldn't see any for the kit body work I'll drop them a line if I cant find a second hand pair as I planned on skinning them with carbon fiber
Markfry123 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Hi Martin, Let me know if you have any luck, I have looked for a while now and had no luck. What you running in the car? I have a 2ltr Zetec with was a squeeze as the engine sits so far forward, Don't see many of the fixed arch Kit ones around.
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Just wondering if the ones that Carbon NV sell will fit.
Mike424u Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I found the Westfield add on this site, in the suppliers forum, under still open. 5594071 FW stone guards £85 per kit including UK mainland shipping. Got Westfield to check measurements for me aprox 9" wide at the top of the arch, not suitable for extra wide arch. they should fit my FW body with removable arches.
Markfry123 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 ZX are definitely too wide for the Fixed arch Kit, I did consider buying a set and cutting them down in the hope that if I trim the edge which adjoins the body the profile of the arch itself would be the same. Would rather find an old second hand cheap set to test first though.

I think mine is a fairly early one as I don't have any location blocks for the bonnet

Yeah I saw that add but like Mark said i think they might be to big and i really wanted carbon. Hence looking for a pair i can modify and skin in carbon as I don't think anybody make carbon ones for the kit fixed arch

All I knew at the time was that I had a SeW. I didnt get them from Carbon NV though.
Markfry123 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 HI Geoffrey I think the issue is that we have fixed rear arches, yours looks to have detachable arches.

Sparkymart Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 Geoffrey are your arches fixed, Or are they fixed and painted to look like detachable? If they are fixed any chance you could measure how wide they are . Cheers Martin
Markfry123 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 wow, they look good. I thought I tried a set at the Kit Car show last year and they were too wide?, perhaps I am wrong. Just to confirm what are the ones you have and where did you get them from. Thanks Mark (Martin, hope you don't mind my notes on your post)

Thanks Mark (Martin, hope you don't mind my notes on your post) No worries Mark it would be good to finally find out if the two body type arches are the same
