If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Wood to form the shape is a good idea this was the way it was done on days of yore on MG T types and the like.
The burning question is what radius to use ?

No, its a plastic D section from B&Q, I needed it to reduce the radii of the edges. I countersunk and rivited it in place and covered with
vinyl.
There is no way I'm going to attach vegetation to my car, even if Morgan do use it!

I qoute from a famous bike builder
"I dont use measuring tapes, I build it to look good."
So my suggestion would be to just mock something up that looks good and dont worry about the radius of it.

Thats well and good but if your buying arches that have that bit built in you need to know the radius. Either that or buy the arches and then fit the
curved section to suit.

I think the best way to do it is to buy your arches, set a good clearance for the tyre & mount it to the body.
THEN get a piece of flat steel (or ally) & bend it so that it follows the contour of the wheel arch.
My personal viewpoint is that the distance must be equal all the way around to look balanced.
I know lots of cars that dont do this ,but its just what I think!!
Oh & the tyre is a 215/40/17.jpg)

Thats what I meant by making it look good, I thought you would have your fenders first.
Paul, those are some nice looking rims you have!

the alternative is to leave the top infil curve panel off the chassis and just get a wider wqing and cut it down to suite the profile. i'm not
explaining this very well am I?
this is what i mean:
