How did you end up attatching the rear tub and also the rear arches as there was no answer in your other post.

i havtn fully fitted it atm, its just sitting in place, but im going to rivet/rivnut it onto d11, and sb1 as these are hidden by the rear arches. I will also rivet/rivnut it onto the extra bar (behind rs14)i have fitted like others have done at the bottom far back.

as for the arches... anyone got a suggestion as to how i should fit them?

Hmm... Wouldn't have thought about glueing it on, but sounds quicker and easier thn making up brakets. Ok, I'll get a suitable gle and get them on asap.

Never come apart if ya get it wrong mind, or if you have a bump you will be replacing the whole rear end.
