Fender Flares and Wheel Wheels


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a supplier or a kit where I can get add on rounded add on fender flares and wheel well tubs?  The wheel well opening I'm working with is 37mm wide at the bottom and 18mm high.  The widest flares I've found are 32mm, a bit short.  I was thinking of using a motorcycle fender and cutting it in half or a fender from an old Ford, but measurements are hard to come by.

Any help is appreciated.

What are you building?  That may help with answers.  Have you considered making your own flares?  Styrene strip and putty can make some awesome flares.  

I need fender flares for the utility body of a Squad 51 replica I'm building.  I can make a set of flares, but I wanted to see if there was a ready made set I can modify and use.

I have used some of my old Med. plastic containers for the basic shape. Just a little body putty to mold in if needed.
