Inner Wheel Arches

[Adam S3]

Has anyone managed to get hold of replacement wheel arches? TVR car parts do the front half but I need the passenger side rear half.

any ideas welcome

Sorry Adam
Drivers side only

Good evening Guys,
This is were I am at, TET moulding don't do the rear section of the wheel arch (the part that is attached to the car) so I am looking at the possability of having a mould made.
Has anyone else done this?

Long shot but the other day at David Gerald open day I noticed various moulds in a corner of their yard, one certainly looked like an S bonnet, may have been some smaller moulds buried amongst everything ?
Might be worth a phone call

I have agreed to let Trevor Bee TET Mouldings have a drivers side rear wheel arch so he can make a mould. There must be a passenger side out there which could make up the pair, any offers to lend one to Trevor???????????

Hi Adam

If you don't have any luck sourcing originals or an original mould and there is enough interest, I will make some up.

I have all the bits and pieces so it shouldn't take long. I can use the ones from my S3C for the mould, I presume they are the same?

Anyone else need some, either side?

What about a hybrid - oversize arch that also acts as an outrigger protector?

I have some inners mouldings on my kitchen table ....from the factory, which are S speak later Norman....as I am unsure what versions they are.

Sounds promising Adrian keep us posted.

Have spoken to Adrian and at his request have taken some photos, drivers side leading edge to the left!

Looks to me maybe a plastic mudguard for a truck or something could be cut up to make something pretty close to that

I think I may be missing one of these. Does it fix straight on to the front wing? I have one on the passenger side but the drivers side is just chucking water all over the brake master cylinder (probably not the best idea)...

How do they fix on? I would be interested in a replacement if we're talking about the same part!

Four or five self tapping screws, you can just make out the holes on the bottom edge on Normans lower photo.

Some of us prefer large pop rivets, self tappers don't hold too well in fibreglass (could be why yours is missing).

They're some bits of conveyor belting, sort of like re-inforced rubber matting. Got it from a lorry driver who was using it to protect his ratchet straps from sharp edges of some machinery.

Is this resolved as yet..PM me direct with a mobile number and I will post some pictures...I did post them to Norman but we both had issues getting them off our phones.

From what I could see definatly all four bits, up to Adrian, do you want to make some moulds of the back halves and produce some? No point in me sending one to Trevor Bee i think

[AndrewS2]

Thanks for the info. Not with the car at the moment but will compare the photo's when I'm home this weekend. However at first glance I reckon I'm missing quite a lot! Passenger side rear is (almost) definitely there, but I'm almost sure there is nothing on the drivers side and the front passenger is missing as well..

Probably the reason for my constantly dirty engine bay then!!

Norman - sent email thanks.
