Thanks for the numbers.I need a nearside front wheel arch,mine has been filled in the past.
Do you think it will be the same as a Sceptre,mine is a 66 Super Minx ?

HI
I think the lower rear corner of the arch is very slightly different,but you can easily alter it to suit.

Should have mentioned ,use MK1 Transit rear arches to repair the original inner arches.Available from most panel suppliers. (not the 4 wheeler bubble arches !) They are cheap and you have to use the left on the right and right on the left ,you also have to extend them a couple of inches at one area ,but they work well and save a lot of fabrication if yours are realy rotten.

good luck. :D
