Rear wheel arch measurements
Hi
Am currently removing the flared wheel arches from my 1960 KG and returning it to the original arches
Problem being i do not know what hight the original arch was at
Was wondering could anyone please get me a measurement from the ridge above the rear arch to the top of the arch and from the inner arch to the outer
edge of the top of the arch
Would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Gaz

I'm doing all four wheel arches on my KG atm also. We're using the rust panels from 'cip'. Luckily my body mate has his own KG plus my parts KG
to use for measurement references as well  Good luck!

Hello Gaz,
If you still need the measurements let me know and I'll get the ruler out in the morning.
Cheers,
Kevin

if we got to rebuild using those pics, u might end up with a mini. best i can do is from top of rear guard down to top of opening of rear guard is
.325 [this measurement is taken vertically in line with centre of the wheel] other measurement from the crease in the body that follows the shape
of the guard to the centre of the guard at the top opening of the guard is .630. this is a horizontal measurement. both measurements the vertical and
horizontal are talken from the same spot in the middle of the opening of the guard at the top. the inner guard i dont know where u mean, inside the
guard is the spring plate, flat and curved sections so unless u can do abetter job of drawing or explaning ...............

ok i think i got the last one its .310 from outside of rear guard to the inner arch. measurement taken from the centre of the guard directly above the
centre of the rear wheel. bear in mind the guard changes angle as it goes toward the back of the car.so teh measurement is differrent in different
places in relation to the rear inner. ps all measurements from my 62 kghia

Hey Grogy
just wondering on that first measurement of .325
Have tacked every thing in and the closest i can to that measurment is 275 mm and it all seems to look ok ,judging from pics i found on the net
Any chance you got that one wrong ?
All others are spot on
Cheers Gaz

325, i jus measured it again. its a vertical measurement from top of guard on the outside of car, down to the opening of the guard above the wheel,
directly inline with the centre of the wheel. i used builders metal tape following the curve of the guard from top to opening .so i lay a piece of
paper on the guard so i dont scratch my car, then bend the tape to follow the shape of the guard from top to opening above the wheel.
