Hi,

I was wondering if the wider mini flares for round nose minis are still available?

I know a few guys around the place sell the standard flares that were fitted to Mark II Cooper S', though I havent seen any of the wider type.

Thanks

Rocco

no one makes them any more. There was talk about re doing them but i dont think that ever eventuated. They are as rare as hens teeth at the moment. Good luck with your search

I believe John @ Mini King has the tooling to remake the orginal plastic arches but are not available yet, otherwise the guys at British Sporting Cars in Vic have a fibgreglass copy.

John at mini king. I remember reading a thread saying he still has the original molds. Remember flares tend to warp & twist after a while on the shelf but will pull back in ok

I think Matt Read was making them and maybe drop micowen a PM too. As far as I am aware John does have the moulding for the stock flares but not the wide ones.
