Wheelarch liner Pastic/Rubber?

[sheriff464]

Hello LEC'ers: Can anyone tell me what plastic is used for the wheelarch liners? As there are gouges and splits in several areas,where I suppose, twenty odd years of getting them off and on is bound to suffer some battle scars! (rusted rawlnuts etc,etc.) Is the plastic available to buy from any outlet at all? Any help would be much appreciated! From Sheriff 464.

I shed mine the other month and have to undertake a repair to it as well, I haven't gotten around to it yet but was advised that the liner is a thermo plastic and as such similiar items are available in the scrappy. You can then repair it by using heat and welding bits together.

Its ABS plastic.

I've got some spare arch liners, if you are short. Also, I repaired one for somebody. I bought a Power-Tec Plastic Welding kit and the only rod that took, was ABS plastic.

You'll get 20% off that kit with code LECM100DISC

It won't fill in burst-out screwholes, big fibre or rubber washers are your best bet. But it will repair cracks solidly.
