Plastic wheelarch liners

[paulhumphries]

Many years ago I bought a MGB which had been fitted with an aftermarket set of plastic wheel arch liners.
The did a great job of keeping a buildup of rot inducing mud accumulating in corners of wings.
Ultimatley I want to fit a new set of wings to my Minor and would like, if still available, to fit a set of these liners at the same time.
Anyone tell me if they are still made ?

Thanks.

I'm not sure anyone makes these? I have not seen any that's for sure.

I would have thought that a plastic liner would end up letting some water behind (from road or condensation) and holding it there long enough to do some real damage.

Its OK on modern cars because the galvanisation process is good so water is not a big problem, and so it is there to prevent stone chips and mud collection. But on older cars I would have thought its better to give it all a proper clean, paint and waxoil the obvious areas. and not cover them over with a plastic liner.

The type I had on my MG, and would like for the Minor, don't completely seal the wheel arch. They are a simple liner that stops mud, salt etc being thrown into corners where they can accumulate and cause rot.
They are open at bottom at A post and behind bumper so any water drains out. The only part of the car they "seal" is the 1" wide strip where the rubber seal touched the inner wing.
Think of a plastic trailer mudguard shaped to fit under Minor wing.

I'm sure I saw a small ad in Minor Matters for these about a year ago (it could have been 2 I suppose ).
If I was an organised sort of person I would look through back issues and find out
Perhaps somebody out there has them neatly arranged and can spare a couple of mins and look.
