I need rear wheelarches for my escos
 

Anyone know if there are places i can get just the arches? I know atmsport has complete rear panels, but i only need the arches. Actually i just need the right one but ill take both if i can.

Nobody make these repair panels in Uk no more? They are impossible to get in Norway. Fucking Ford are useless when it comes to spareparts!!

I got my sapph ones for £11 a side :top:

Not sure if I can get Escos ones

you proberbly wont find escos ones but any one with a stretcher shrinker should be able to make you some

Which bit of the arch do you need? Are you repairing rusty lips or something?

Yes, its just some small rustspots on the lip, and little bit around the fuelfiller cap.

Try Jack (www.cosworth.nl) or/and Wolf (http://www.wolf-performance.com/).
Maybe they can help you out ;-)

I would suggest that a 'Good' bodyshop would be able to fabricate small body parts like arches.

My mate had his Lotus Carlton rebuilt, Lotus fabricated all the arches themselves on the production line and did't bother making any spares so he had no choice but to have everything fabricated. The finished job was much better than the factory quality!

Yes, i would also think that. But if it was any possibility to get hold of original parts i would prefer that.

I have the whole rear quarter side with petrol cap hole. I bought it off atm i got one of the last ones, so if you need the whole panel drop me a pm

If you have rust around the filler cap, then I would recommend replacing the whole 1/4 panel regardless as the rot will be where you cannot see it. Once repaired, it will only find a way back where as a 1/4 panel means a better-finished and (hopefully) longer-lasting job even if it does mean taking longer.

thats why i bought the quarter panel, the bodyshop said it will eventually come back, the best thing to do is replace the whole thing.

you can normally get away with one of these for the fuel cap area

Actually just got one of those in the mail today. So only thing i need now is the rear arch. I also thought of changing the whole panel, but its really small rust spots and no holes on the back side if you understand.
