This 914 came to me with 6x16 Fuchs wheels with the rears riding on 1" thick 5 bolt adapters. The prior reworked the rear fenders into some sort of mini flare for tire clearance.
The flares are not working for me so I have some body work to do. I bought a pair of 5 lug hubs to move the wheels in but need to fix the 4 lug brake disks. I figured I'd have a go at drilling them myself so made up a template in CAD. The attached pdf will print to scale on a 8-1/2 x 11" printer..... if you have the need. Tim

I would grab some wheel arches from someone who has cut them off for steel flares. I believe it will be much easier to weld them on rather than try to reshape your existing arches. I would offer mine but I only have 3 so I don’t know if I have two fronts or two rears. I can check if that’s what you want. Mark

Thank you for the offer, the fronts had been monkeyed with also but not nearly as extreme. I've got those looking really good with my hammer and dolly.
I'm going to have a go at the rears before I start cutting. I can heat shrink them if need be, wish me luck if not I'll be in touch. Tim |
