aleda Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hi Troops - Betty hopes to be out of hospital for Christmas so if you spot a blue 4A whizzing about over the holiday it might be me, can’t wait! Got passenger side footwell, inner sill and B post plus final paintwork to go… My engineer is keen for me to have rear wheel arch liners fitted and I have been reading up on previous forum posts. He has already fitted new front wheel arch lining plates. I found a 2013 post that mentions Honeybourne Mouldings, as the writer says, a lot cheaper than Revington that most people recommend. Would appreciate your thoughts and recommendations before I order? As Always, Many Thanks for your support Christine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hi Christine, wheel arch liners in all four corners are a MUST. The Honeybourne liners are well made and should fit nicely with a little fettling. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
qkingston Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Ok, so initially I went with the Honeybourne liners on the basis of cost, however I could not get the rears to fit, the moulding just wasn't right. Eventually they agreed to a refund and I went back to Revingtons and got a set from them which do fit really well. I don't know if Honeybourne might have managed to sort the problem but that was my experience Best Regards David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) That should be interesting. I have a set to fit to my TR4 Listen out for the swearing. Roger Edited November 14, 2021 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 I wish someone would make a set for TR2-3a's Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

250 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I recently fitted a rear set of Hounybourne to the 250 very minor fettling required. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Put a set on the 6 over 20 years ago whenJerry Vincent was making them. Who makes the best ones these days as am planning to fit to the 4A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Revingtons bought Jerrys moulds and they are a good fit though not cheap, they are model specific whereas the Honeybourne are generic fit all. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nigel A Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I have the Remington ones and the are an excellent fit - only very minor fettling to fit Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Nigel - Did you have to shave them to fit Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleda Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Ha Ha Richard - Gosh, this is difficult, I don’t know how much the 250 wheel arch differs to the 4A… Thank you so much for all your input, think I will have to ask my bank manager Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ntc Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 When I got mine there was scribed line’s on the inside and imho Revingtons are the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleda Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Reading through comments again I think I can surmise that although Honeybourne are generic they suit the 250 best. My engineer happens to have a TR6 in the workshop so he's going to compare the wheel arches tomorrow. I am leaning towards Revington, will give them a call to see if they will sell me rear only as front arch restore work now completed. thank you all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel A Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi Rich it was a few years ago and I think it was only 1 had to adjust very slightly. sorry but memory these days isn’t as good as it used to be - age catching up Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I fit them with rivnut mountings so they can be easily removed if required, it also means you cant see from the inside theyre fitted as I have seen ugly screw ends or rivets up through the arches under the bonnet.

jerrytr5 Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 When I designed them I used a rubber moulding to seal against the wing. The moulding was very expensive. If honeybourne are making bootleg copies at significantly cheaper price I would assume there is no seal. That assumes Revington continued with the sealing arrangement. The inner wheelarch of the 5 & 6 are the same, outer profile is different. I assume the 250 would be the same. The 4A is slightly different (seatbelt mountings in wheelarch at rear and no servo at front). They will always need fettling as each car is different. Some people just stick them on, they are quite a close fit. Sorry Bob, never got around to doing them for sidescreen cars, partly because I have never had one.

tim hunt Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Yes Stuart, at almost three times the price of the same extrusion from Woolies (R1505). That got up my nose! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
