lowlancer Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Fuck scary, was just thinking about that on my way home from work today. I wanna space my wheels out about 10 mill, means I'd need todo something drastic to keep the back as low as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kris Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 1. Yes you have to get the edges welded, put a strip of plate in rather than bodging it. 2. Cert? Don't know - but I bet you do (cos it's fun, anything fun = cert IMHO). Just ring your local cert man, they are on the LVVA website, they are actually helpful people (cos they want your $).

Guest tt141 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 in the back the two skins are right next to each otheras far as i need to cut it so would i still need to get it welded? a guy in whangarei makes pretty universal one that can be made to fit on heaps of cars for about $160 for four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 fibre glassing isnt hard, well, its do-able. you could give it a go yourself? the fibre glassing that is. just make a nice mould out of foam or something and make 4 flares that are identical. or make 2 moulds, back and front... dont know about the cutting etc.. but about the cert, not 100% but there is a site, ask WDE BDY , but my front guards aren't considdered structural and can do anythingt i like with them (including giant rust holes) ring around.
