Title: Rear Wheel Tub Covers Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on March 24, 2011, 09:01:29 AM Does anyone know if there were two styles of interior rear wheel tub covers for the FEs or FCs?
I have two different sets in the workshop and both look "original", one is a one piece design and the other is a two-piece ???

Ireckon they would have done it different ways because each factory would have had their own production bosses and fidly bits like this may have been done different, but i don't have a true answer for you only evidence :) (http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x448/fewithrb40/P1010137.jpg) (http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x448/fewithrb40/P1010138.jpg) (http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x448/fewithrb40/P1010139.jpg) (http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x448/fewithrb40/P1010140.jpg) Title: Re: Rear Wheel Tub Covers Post by: FCRB26 on March 24, 2011, 06:25:16 PM Just remeber i have the steel pieces cut at work in S/S ready to be stiched in. ;)
