Rear arch protectors for Hockley kit?

Postby notax » Wed Aug 22, 2012 7:57 am

I am using the Hockley F2000 kit as I know a few of you do too. I find that the lower part of the rear arch gets really badly chipped very quickly by stones - even on largely tarmac events. Has anyone designed any sort of protection for this area? Any ideas appreciated...

Notax

What me and Cliff have done is you can buy Geniune Kevlar sheets with Proper M3 Sticky backing on it, Cutting it can be a pain in the arse mind as the fibre's in it don't like being cut, but it sticks pretty damn good.

Cliffs done a fair few rallies with his now and it seems to be stickin well and standing up to the stone chips etc, here's a couple of pics of mine with the kevlar stuck on the arches etc.

Thanks Dave - I've just ordered a sheet from Ebay - miles cheaper than the alternative I was considering of getting some protectors made up 8)
