Correct, If I was fitting a new kit then I myself would have removed the lower part of the original rear quarter and re-skinned the inner arch.From pictures that iv seen of maxi's they keep the original quarters as well

I was thinking about doing that but you are more likely to get rust as it will trap the moisture  Iv read somewhere that you can buy Dimma arch liners but I have failed to find out who supply them and how much? Last time I went up nur Noel was talking about manufacturing some but don't think it's going to be anytime soon |

I would attempt to copy mine, but I fear they would just fall apart as they are extremely brittle in places.________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Dan- you have inner arch liners? Get some pics up!! Might have to ring Dimma direct and see if they do them, no signs of them on the site but then again neither are alloys |

Only the rear ones dude.And when I got the car, the only thing that resembled an arch liner, was a slightly curved piece of fibreglass in the front and rear of the front arch. ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Been collecting parts and getting them powdercoated, iv gone a bit mad and still have loads more to get done! Problem is im running out of room to put all the nice bits so my house is now more of a car parts warehouse!  Suspension and engine mount goodies  my revolution carbon kevlar seats :-) i haver 3" 6 point luke harnesses somewhere but csant find them atm!   The rear beam has been powder coated silver and black and i also have new nuts, bolts, washers, bearings, trailing arm shafts, solid mounts, hybrid anti roll bar and 21mm torsion bars for a nice feresh rebuild   I even got the exhaust heat shields done ;-)   |

A picture isn't really going to make it any clearer tho, in order you have the 2 lock rings then the spring, then the bump stop. Then the top sting pan then a spacer that sits up against the standard top mount bearings, then the top mount, then the top hat then washer and nut??Post a pic of what you have might be easier! |

I have a feeling they will be wanting around £100 a corner for the arch shells, I guess £400 will be kinda worth it as my arches are mint and want them to stay that way for many moons to come |

A well overdue update....Got the car to my mates bodyshop in December so we could work on it over the Christmas shutdown  forgot to take pics for the first few days so skipped a few steps                  I then got to play with a plasma cutter and turned the roof into a sardine can  then started to make the cage, I have reasons for making it bolt in and for not fitting a full on cage like my Peugeot sport shell had.      started to make a pile fro powder coating, polishing, anodizing or plating  rear cage finished  The dimma back at mine before it went to nur an the 6th feb  I picked the dimma up from nur yesterday and will upload some pics soon |
