Front Wheel Arch Replacement

Post by **high_tower** » 13 Jun 2008, 11:38

Afternoon.

I'm about to replace one of the front wheel arches on my t25. before i set about cutting the old one out i thought i'd check on something.

Does the t25 have any sort of inner arch skin?

I just dont want to put a grinder on it cut the whole arch out mess up the job. I've looked at it and couldn't really tell. I once read that the bay window buses had an inner arch skin as well as an outer and thought i'd check if it was the same in the t25.

right i've cut away the existing arch and im ready to weld on the new one.

Just wondering how most people have gone about fitting the arch?

Have people simply fitted the new one in place over the top of the old wheel arch and spot welded it onto it?

or did they step the original arch edge and fit the new one onto that?

just trying to find a nice way of doing it.

cheers

never done it meself , but just starting on a rear one , and bought meself a "joggler" from Frost auto thanks to help from this forum , it also punches holes for spotweldin . should give a neat edge once seam welded .
