Inner wheel arch on bonnet

[maffey]

When i bought the car it did not have wheel arches fitted to the bonnet, have just bought some from TVR Parts.
Has anybody fitted these and do you have any tips please.

theres a post on the TVRCC forum which you might find helpful with some pictures from GreenV8S (Peter Humphries - PM him and he may post these photos again ?)

Did you get the edgeing strip with them that goes on the edge that touches the bonnet?

I say touches, on mine (original items) I spent a lot time making cardboard templates and adding bits on with fibreglass to get them to fit something like !

If they've not come pre-drilled there should be (as pictures show) two M8 bolts and "penny" washers mounting each one to the wooden bonnet brace.

Only thing to realy look out for is that they sit nicely onto the other parts attached to the bulkhead.

I replaced the edging strip with transit van door
Seal trim... The type with the semi-rigid plastic "U" section
With the round rubber seal section... Well at least
Its Ford
Bridges the gap nicely
