Hello folks,

I'm in the progress installing flares on my current project car. I've browsed thru the various threads describing the installation processes itself, but I found only one picture with some rough measures (it's a hand sketch, with measures for 916 and 914/6 GT) for the positioni of the flares to the fender.
The problem is that I'm not able to adjust the flares against the wheels or against the front valance cause the car is completely stripped down, so I have to rely on pure measures.

It would be absolutely fantastic, if someone could provide me with the dimensions for the distance A and B (only front fender this time ;-) ), which I've marked in the attached picture.
Based on those dimensions I would prepare an exact sketch, which could be used in the future .

best greetings from Germany (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif)

I spent days trying to find just the right location. I concluded that there was no perfect fit. I modified the body panels in places to fit the flairs because I found the flairs to be more alike than the original quarter panels.

I agree with everybody else; there just isn't any "correct" placement.

I'd recommend just going by the wheel placement, which is what you will notice on the finished car the most.

Then modify everything else to match.
