Well I would think that it depends on what he has to do ......if he has 2 do the entire flare or if there is a kit and he has to fit it...I know for the bug he made metal flares shaped it..then made fiberglass molds...but I will inquire and get back to you.......

sad that this is not the only one
I regularly spend time looking at a 1930s Rolls Royce walled up in a friend's house
He'll eventually get around to it after he's done with the MG, Jag, Citroen and the other MG

This car actually is in very good condition...and probably its a good thing that the owner did not let our local mechanics/body men thinker with it....I actually felt Privileged to be able to take the pics....thanks Pappy...next time i want some pics of the 1950s bicycle :mrgreen:

Amm, yuh lost me there, padna. Why should a wider track cause that?
I can understand a change in the handling (reduced oversteer)...

Wider tyres... yes, to some degree... but the same general bearing loads and frictional losses spread over wider axles = reduced torque? :?

I read it somewhere
can't remember where tho........along the lines of unequal length axles causing torque steer, and why Jag used to run inboard brakes etc

unequal length axles =/= wider track
if you use the old wives tale of a longer handle screwdriver giving you more torque then the opposite of what you said would be true
but obviously that doesnt make any sense in terms of physics
