I'm after an off-side front arch to start with.
Who supplies the best quality parts?
I've dealt with JK and Sch***ld in the past.
Cheers

why is 'Schofield' blanked out???? :? have EB turned into JK? 
The only decent fit arches are NOS or cut off a rust free bus, guys like FBI do get them in occasionally but im sure theres a waiting list atm.
as far as i know schofields are the only people that suply anything repro thats half decent?
GSF do cheap panels but be warned quality isnt good on the arches and they usually only have genuine in stock which means the flared lip if they are bay arches.

I've got a GSF arch on my drivers side.
It took a fair amount of persuasion to get it to fit anywhere near the bottom of the door. Having said that, I persuaded it enough (by applying force by standing on it at different angles to bend it) to be a reasonable fit to the overall line of the bus, and around the door bottom.
Brute force and ignorance has to be used with most repro parts I'm afraid

Its a bit of a last resort for many, but if you end up getting parts from the U.S. I would say get them from here:
http://www.interstateusedparts.com/
Place has an endless supply of rust free bays.

they ship worldwide and it might be a good place for early style flat arches...
Also Try Mark at MCJ Imports - He had a few pairs of arches a few weeks ago - a bit pricy at £125 each though very good condition (http://www.mcjimports.co.uk)
Also try scott at VW Classics (on here) - very nice guy importing stuff from SA
Volksheaven had some at Dubfreeze but they seem to be the "left over" ones from his last shipment and not perfect (cheapish at £75 though)
As Johnny says - go for Original German rust free metal, it really is about time someone set up producing quality repair panels for EBs like you can get for splits (Autocraft, Creative eng etc)
Good luck
