How big are these lips?
Fred W B - 11/4/07 at 11:28 AM

So, how far do we reckon these wheel arch lips and blend stick out from the true flat side of the body shape at the top centres of the wheel arches, if you know what I mean?

I am guessing 40 mm max at the back and 20 mm max at the front?

I want to shape these edges this weekend.

Cheers

I would think you are pretty spot on with your estimation of the Rear ones, perhaps a mm or two under the 40?

Bu ti think the front ones are slightly bigger than your reckoning of 20mm - more like just over 25 - maybe even 27mm?

obviously just guesses of my own, so take it or leave it!

I'm inclined to agree, the fronts don't look much smaller than the rears except towards the very front of the arch, maybe 35mm rear, 30mm front

well if its American i'm sure the measurements are more like 1" and 2" or 1 3/4"

The front ones seem to taper from front to back too.

It's an old Lola T70 so it will be imperial. Would probably been made in Slough.

Lola (my former employer) are now in in Huntingdon in Cambs. Amongst other things making all of the A1GP cars.

They are now making brand new T70's.
