Hi, anyone got some pics of how you've fitted them?
I know it needs to be rear edges (the outer edge??) no higher than 150mm from the centre of the hub.
How do you put them on and still leave room for the wheels to go on?
Cheers

When fitting wheels you go in at quite an angle, and the straighten to slide on to threads.
You should be ok. Test with just the fender brackets on, because that is where they are going to hit

Hi, Fitting these were a right pain, but eventually created something that I believe is a good solution and they feel very strong. I cut some wood to fit inside the wheelarches well, around 20mm thick at the thickest section to space them out from the wheels. Originally they were 40mm thick and looked really wrong, the gap was far too big! Balanced the arches on the metal brackets provided with the kit with the bits of wood in place and once I was happy with where they were, drew around the wooden blocks and took it all off again. put some wood stain on to protect it from the water that will inevitably get on them. Once off, I fibreglassed the wooden blocks in place on the wings Once the fibreglass has set I put some U clips (12mm diameter) around the brackets and used screws to hold them in place (make sure they’re not too long so they poke out through the fibreglass!!) The only difference between doing this for the front and rear arches were the side/brake/indicator lights which, depending where the wooden blocks are placed, need feeding through the fibreglass so they are accessible to be plugged in. To do this, I simply fibreglassed around some conduit that I put the wires in   |
