Wheel Arch Liner Kit (Front) £12.00 - Still a few kits left
Posted: Fri 10.08.2012, 12:12I have to say, I never realised how useful it is to be able to remove the front wheel arch liner, so many areas to access (feel free to add what other things there are under there) but so far for me.......headlight pods, turbo cooling radiators, Oxygen sensor wiring loom, access for replacing timing belt (I think - it was 5 years ago that I did this...so due again 
).
Trouble is....a combination of 20 year old car, siezed bolts and low headed bolts which would have been difficult to remove when new - let alone now, makes getting the liner off is a project in itself.
So the only way I've found to get the wheel arch off is to grind/cut off the fixings where they are siezed using a Dremmel Multi-tool with a flexible shaft, spraying the area to keep things cool - you would be amazed how useful a Dremmel is.
So.......I've sourced all the replacement fittings in stainless steel/brass where possible.
Sufficient for both front wheel arches the kit will consist of:
Tube Epoxy Resin (for fitting rubber rawl plugs)
4 x rubber rawl plugs (Neoprene rubber over M6 brass threaded section)
4 x M6 Lug Nuts(zinc plated steel)
8 x M6 Dome nuts (Stainless Steel)
8 x Penny Washers (Stainless Steel)
6 x Self Tapping Screws (Stainlesss Steel)
6 x Penny Washers (Stainless Steel)
6 x Plastic Plugs
COST £15.00 including POSTAGE TO UK and a donation to LEC - might be a bit less if I get sufficient numbers
Overseas will be a bit extra - but I won't rip you off
So - if you are interested put your name on the list below.
I'll close the list on 31st August, place the order and ask for the cash preferably by electronic transfer/cheque or as a last resort - paypal.
