Alternative way to attach inner and outer arch edges without the folded seam

[John A. Ross]

A very rough model on what the structure looks like on your Imp wheel arches and very few ever had paint/sealer down there. It is afantastic water trap !!!

Alternative way to attach inner and outer arch edges without the folded seam, thanks for the timp from col rooney

It removes the worst part of the joint, the folded seam



And replaces it with either a welded (restoration/paint wing) or a panel bond attach (minimum exterior skin damage)



Here is a picture from Colin that has since expired in CA Restorations Corner

Actual cut sections being fitted with minimum and much easier to seal arch inner (not to mention cheaper than a repair arch and much easier/quicker/better to do !





Cheers Colin for the top tip, you are the man

That would have been a lot easier and a better solution than fabricating all 4archs on mine.
next time

Gary, yes 4 small holes at top for syringe, inject epoxy to run back down what inner seam there is was my next idea on that one for the fronts but so much easier.
