I think just kampers sell front arches. Well at least i know they used to as i have bought them in the past! But if you want the side that has the filler in you have to weld up the hole for a syncro! :ok I have just been on Just Kampers website and they do list both front arches!! http://www.Justkam...

Re: tight viscous coupling
