You may be better off plating any holes, cutting off the rubber lumps on the step rubber and bonding it on with no more nails

Re: wheel arch step , drivers side
Hi mate , how desperate for the step are you?
Ive brought one but dont think im going to use it now (going to put in a plate instead, cause they are as bad as everybody says).
If you can hang on for a couple of weeks you can have it for a tenner as theres no way I can charge what I payed for it

Cheers mate, could do with it asap to be honest. I dont need all the step i just need to cut the front off it and the part of the wheel arch. Was going to try and do it this weekend ready for the camperjam.

Dont bother with a repair panel if you can help it (sorry fidget not trying to do you out of a sale
)
Try and fab something up. They are really poor.

Re: wheel arch step , drivers side
I've done both mine, bought from JK, total pants as every body says. I just cut out the rot and cut down the new panels to what i needed rather than fart about trying to make the complete part fit

Re: wheel arch step , drivers side
I had Schofield's ones and did both sides on my van, now I dunno if its coz I'm a mechanic by trade but with some light fettling they fit fine! Think some need to spend a bit more time trying before dismissing them!

Aiming this at anyone in particular or is this a blanket accusation of inability.

Your second statement really!
You have to remember there pattern parts not original!
There good, if they weren't i would have rolled and hammered out my own from scratch!
