WANTED; drivers side inner wheel arch
Discussion
Sometimes you wonder how you miss the obvious!!! Silly boy
On the old spring/damper units I regularly got a graunch under the front wheel arch over a big bump. I fitted the new Gaz units and....damn.....still getting a graunch, although less regularly. Start to look for the cause and find that the offside inner wheel arch is touching because it has a bulge in it. Looking more closely I detect that the offside arch has been changed (the fastenings under the sealant are screws while the nearside one if firmly rivetted on. I then realise that they are of different construction and differ dimensionally in several ways. I think someone may have damaged/lost the inner wing and put something incorrect in its place.
I don't suppose that anyone has one of these lying around that they would be prepared to sell me do they?

Thanks guys. Yep, that is exactly the same problem and exactly the same wheel arch! I even detect that the inner flange isnt at right angles to the top, and there is an unnecessary kink in the inner flange which weakens it, both the same as mine.
So mine looks like it is 'right', just that TVR made a **** of it.
Have any of you noticed subtle differences to the left hand one (apart from obvious differences in recesses)which suggest they weren't designed/made at the same time? The inside flange of my RH one is miles closer to the tyre than the LH one.
Is it beginning to look as if I should make a mould that would work better?
