Re: looking for mk1 escort bubble arch measurements
I have spent the morning just looking at the side of the car too scared to cut anything.... ridiculous i know
I realised that my pictures above are a bit vague so i took a few closer pics of mine, I'm confident that the first measurement is taken from the edge of the door shut where i have marked but wasn't sure of the second reference point, is the measurement taken from point 1 or point 2?
many thanks and sorry for being a pain, ill hopefully pluck up the courage to fire the grinder up later

Thanks that's reassuring, as that is the measurement i went for in the end.
I was worrying for nothing really as it will be 6 linked so all adjustable

Anyone get issues with the front part of the arch touching the tyre as if the arch curves in too far at the bottom. TIA

My wheels were closer to the front of the arch than the rear by about 20mm but i just moved the axle back a bit using the adjustment in the rose joints on the 4 link bars
