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...

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.

Here are the threads I started.

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?

Yea, they're website is useless, i emailed them a couple of weeks ago with no response and ended up calling them and that wasn't particularly great service in itself either..

Yea, the plan was to still cut the guard, it's probably going to rub with the stock clubby S flares anyway..
