ausmini :: View topic - Wood and Pickett Arches in Oz?

You can pick up the rubber trim for a few bucks at Clarke Rubber if you are keen.

I wansn't at all impressed with the service, quality of the product, or value for money when I went genuine W&P, but maybe you will do better.

I wouldn't get them again. Maybe I'd try a clone, or see if you can get someone to mold a set locally? Get some plaster of paris, copy Aaron's then take the molds to someone to get glassed? Surely for less than $290 someone would do it?

Also I have 12x5 superlights on a 8.4" metro front end, and they rub on the flares when turning, even though I have it jacked right up on new cones and hi-los. Ouch. Maybe you have you have to cut the guards to get a good fit?

Its alrite...Josh likes the Old Man Emu look

May put your wheels on Aarons and see how they fit and where you may need Adjustments

I don't know if i am dreaming.. but you HAVE checked with aaron.. havent you?

wouldn't want to buy something and not test if it fits again now would you joshie ..
:mrgreen:

I thought they cleared ?

Does anyone know a company that stocks Wood and Pickett arches in Oz? I rang them just then and they are waiting a couple of weeks for the rubber trim before they cansend any out (how you can run out of the trim and not the arches is beyond me).. I'd like to source a set earlier if possible...

i think they are stainless and fit over the black plastic flairs to dress them up a bit. Standard width if its the same ones im thinking of.

Gafmo runs these on Morris to Bling him up. Yes they fit the Innocenti/Mini Special plastic flares.

I thought they cleared ? I don't care haha i want them and if they don't fit i'll make them fit..or sell them Haha it's ok..i understand everyone thinking that i would not check but i did this time!! but it's not going to work 100% without a bit of work...i would like to get them to fit though, but i am still looking for something else that i can source quicker and easier..
