    Hi all,

    I've fitted new wheel tubs and I'm about ready to fit the new rear arches (I'll update my resto thread over the weekend) but I just wondered what you use between the inner and outer arch.

    When I chopped of the outer arch there was quite a thick foam strip and they were stuck pretty well!

    Cheers :)

    foam strip is anti vibration and the lip on the wheeltub is spot (?) or seam (?) welded to the lip on the outer wheelarch panel (the outer skin) - Ive question marked spot and seam as there may be a particular weld, we seam welded them togethe

    I use seam sealer to replace the foam seal

    The foam strip should be replaced with a 12-14mm diameter bead of sealer at 'A'
