Rear arches for a 71

[mcvw]

Hi,

What style of rear arches should our 71 have?

The PO replaced one arch with the rolled-lipped type, and the other arch (which needs replacing) is slightly flared - but doesn't look as flared as ones fitted to late bays.

I suppose our bus could be a semi-crossover :?

Cheers,


Mike

mike, i think the difference is negligible, so much so, that you would hardly notice on the rears. I cant see any difference from my 71 arches and earlys or lates.

I believe on the 72 the front arches were flared and the rears were flares a little more along with the fuel filler being moved back...

anyone got a good side and front profile shot?

closest frontal on a 71 I have where you can see the rear arch if it helps....

now you just need the same for a 72 [/img]

If it has wide 5 stud pattern then flat lip, if narrow 5 stud pattern (disc brakes) then flared lip. 71 was a funny year and I should no, as I got one.
