Group 2 Arches

#1 Post by eightiesflamer »

As per title, where do I get a set of group 2 arches for my dolomite, I have spoken to sprintspares but the shipping costs match the purchase price, Hans, i think its Hans in holland do them but are not very informative as to if they are available and at what cost, any one else.

Surely you're not having trouble fitting those 7x15s under the standard arches? :shock: :roll:

Hans and Sprintspares are the only options I'm aware of. DF got his from Hans. Let us know if you find another.

Very very long shot, you could try Rimmers. They bought up the stock of Jamie Weidner's UK Sprintspares when he closed down. Jamie and Hans had a deal going on but I don't recall who was supplying who. Improbably long shot.

Richard4040 got some rough prices off a firbreglasser the other day... Up to £200 for the moulds to be made then about £80 for a set thereafter... Anybody interested in lending us a set and will there be enough people interested to put money foreward to get a few of these made up?

Sometimes it is probable better to contact me personal if someone want to buy, or for other enquiries.
And yes we bought all the specials and goodies from our very good friend Jamie Weidner, only the normal stuff went to the Rimmers, the rest including some very rare F3 parts, even a completer original F3 engine is here in Gramsbergen The Netherlands.

Other wise the wheels will look like silly string from behind :lol:

Jod is supposed to be talking to the bloke who laid up the GRP front panels; he's a bit nervous about likely uptake though...what interest is there?

The problem with sending the Arches (mudguard flares to us Aussies) is that they are very bulky. The ones that we have made are in carbon fibre and weight virually nothing, full set will only be around 3kg, the box weighs more than the arches!

Because of the the bulk you are paying for a lot of space and no weight. One way to offset the freight cost is to order some heavy small items for you or your mates, like vernier cam sprockets, comp head studs etc, and they will cost nothing to send with the arches.

Those vernier sprockets are a work of art.

I might get a perspex cam cover made so I can see mine! :lol:
