    I'm very slowly been restoring my gt4 and am now putting it back together. Can anyone tell me the correct positioning for the fibreglass rear wheel arch liners. Do they mount over or under the metal section of the inner arch? I've replaced all the metal in this area and it's not obvious how the liners should go back. Thanks.

    Brilliant. I'll get these in M6 then. I'm going to have to make some modifications as when I made the metal inner arch reinforcing sections I had totally forgot the sides of fibreglass arches bolt to them. Needless to say they don't mate up very well.

    Thanks for the help so far. I'm just wondering if this is right? Also there are smaller holes down the side and a 6mm hole at the bottom of the fibreglass piece. Is there a bracket on the sill that the fibreglass bolts to and what sort of screws go down the side. Finally is there a rubber seal on the edge of the fibreglass?

    Hi John,

    They're the same screws for all of the holes on my car, including those onto the inner flange on the bodywork. There isn't any rubber edging strip on mine.

    Same self tappers I used all around. No rubber edge strip, but I also extended the inner metal lip when I restored one to make a better seal
