    wider wheel arches

    hey all,

    any one know of wider wheel arches for front of defender?

    i know Devon 4x4 in the UK do them, but only sell a set of four and at 187 pounds a set + shipping im looking for an alternative.

    im looking for 50mm wider than standard

    cheers, Serg

    Hi Serg,

    Paddock motors do them aswell: (4 tho)

    Defender Extended Arches - 2 inch wider than standard - set of 4

    Pretty sure innovation 4x4 did aswell but they may have gone bust

    Would assume John Craddocks would also do them

    Personally I would get them from D44 - if you email them they may split the set. Worth a try and a very good company to deal with.

    Rgds

    thanks Pete,

    i have already emailed Devon4x4, they cant split a set. My guess is they just get them made or buy from a supplier and there are more 90/110 that require 4 than cabchassis over there.

    i will check the others out

    hey mate, i know it's not much better, but i'm trying to organise a bulk order from MM 4X4 in the uk to split the shipping cost that might save you a couple of dollars??

    I've seen a few around with 50-70mm of conveyor belting used to 'remotely mount' the factory item, that is a long strip of rubber belt, 50-70mm wide screwed on the inner edge to the wing/guard and the outer edge to the original arch - I'm pretty sure tombraider was one who did this?? maybe blknight can post a photo or two as his Dad now owns Tombie's former wheels

    Got a thread going about it, but the flares themselves are $225 and shipping for one set was $170, that would be approx $400 but already got 1 other person interested, if you are as well, i recon they would be about $300, thats just a guess for 3 sets... i hope to get a few more interested parties.

    let me know

    Thanks

    I'd be keen on a set, but not sure how much cheaper postage would work out if relayed to WA tho.
