it wont crack if I did them!!!
but then again I dont use that "pink shit in a can" most people use for "fibreglassing" things together
quick question - for anyone thats done the arches themselves - how much if any body work do you have to cut away - as I lined a set up and the back especially seemed as though they required a lot of trimmed bodywork

im fitting some to mine soon im also not smoothing in totally, my last skirts were smoothed in with fibreglass and filler, were also held on with tiger seal and expandable filler behind, and you could litterally kick them and they were solid, a year down the line it had just started to crack.

I fibreglassed some bolts onto the inside of each arch then bolted them through into the old holes. you can't use all the holes as they don't all line up but just 3 or 4 will hold it strong, then you can tiger seal it and smooth it

goodfellow - it depends on the emthod and you definition of fibreglassing - mine does not include "filler" or "P40" hence why I can guarantee them not cracking - plus I use a 0,45,90 and under over laminating process - I doubt you'll have the correct facilities to do it properly by yourself
