rear arch and light in position


i have also managed to fit the near side rear wheel arch. i held it in position at first but was struggling to hold it up and mark fixing positions. i drilled a series of holes in the inside edge of the arch and luckily in the garage,there was a tub of grease which when sat on the rear wheel acted as a perfect guide and gave a perfect even spacing around the wheel! (who would have thought a tub of grease could be so handy.) once it was in position i drilled through the inner arch and through the side of the main body tub. then i removed the arch and inserted the 5mm riv-nuts into the pannel. then i offered the arch up to the pannel and fastened it with m5 bolts. making sure the wing piping was in position.

once the arch was fitted i decided to fit the rear light cluster. i drilled and grommeted the rear pannel for the wire and connecor plug to pass through, and drilled and fixed the cluster back using long m5 bolts with nuts and washers
