Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 @Mike424u could you put a slightly less close up photo of your rear arches up please, something doesn’t look right there. Need to see the shape and profile of them properly. The guards do look FW like, but, and it’s really difficult to tell from those photos, but the edges of your actual wheel arches look very deep for FW, must admit, at first glance I assumed they were ZK 😆 before I read you had an FW.

Mike424u Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I hope this helps with identifying what my arches are, They are detachable bolt on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 That’s your problem, you have an FW nose/bonnet, but NOT an FW tub, it’s a traditional ZK tub and arches, so you need ZK type stone protectors. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have the Kit bodywork with fixed rear arches, and three Stoneleighs ago I bought a pair of ZK bodywork arch protectors from the Westfield stand, but after quickly testing them on my car I had to return them as they were too wide. If the FW version fits, I'd be in like Flynn 😄 BTW, CarbonNV doesn't have a version for the Kit bodywork either, although he did offer to make some if he could have my car for a long period of time so he could make moulds for them. But I haven't spoken to Mark since beginning of last year though, so not sure how much has changed. @Quinten I've got kit bodywork with detachable arches. Thanks to a fellow member i've acquired a set of arch protectors that fit perfectly. You're welcome to try them for size . Maybe Mark could use them to make a mould if they work for you too..

Quinten Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 @neptune I suspect your arches will be wider due to them being detachable, but there's no harm in trying. When are you planning to fit them? I can pop round for a socially distant visit any evening this week, or some time during the weekend... unfortunately the Westfield remains on SORN until the country comes out of lockdown so I would need to bring them home with me for measuring if that's ok?

David tucker Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 It would be good to know if the arch on a narrow body is the same as a wide body does any one know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Letts - Joint Hampshire & IOW AO Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Not quite, I had a damaged narrow wheel arch and obtained a wide tub to get a mould off the relevant wheel arch But it wasn’t quite right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike424u Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Evening all. I now have a set of carbon effect stone guards that fit correctly, ZK body with detachable arches. They fit like a glove, and even come with a strip of rubber edging. Not sure where that goes as yet, I guess its up to body line side. These came from Westfield direct. The FW type were way to big for my little ZK arches. They are being returned to Westfield. Im just waiting for the glue to arrive next. Tiger seal from Ebay I Will post a few pics when I get chance, and get to fit them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
