MOT

[Tonka]

I'm doing some work on my zook to get it throw an MOT. I have no choice in need to cut out both arches on the rear so im thinking of boxing then for more movement when i get some bigger tyres. im not going near the front coz if it ant broke dont fix it but will do the same when the time comes if its a good idea.
Can anyone help.

Sounds like a plan.

I recently had to do my rear arches as they were completly rotten on one side, but i took the approach of patching and fiberglassing the holes up as i think i have loads of room under my arches for my needs!

Hi matey

Here is a few pics of how Karl and I did his rear arches, If you want to ask anything then fire away!











then with a bit of filler to cover the weld/blend the arch into the body and a lick of paint they end up like this

correct me if im rong but i didnt think the rear arches come into the MOT?

[urbanzook]

hu! dont they???????
im not 2 sure

[dan_2k_uk]

my inner arches arent even connected to the wings and mine pissed the m.o.t!

it shouldn't make a difference for the mot because the body is seperate from the chassis and is thus not a stressed member,

therefore mot exempt

If there are any sharp exposed edges they will fail you on that! my front arches have huge holes in them which wasn't a problem it was the sharp edges which i had overlooked which they failed it on!
