Question Rear fender inserts???

Does anyone make rear fender inserts?? I've heard it was a problem with the first gen.s fenders rusting out and mine have done just that.

I'm just trying to find a cheap alternative to buying a welder right away and doing the fab work right now (Buying a house).

Contact Steve Brooks - he makes custom replacement panels, including those for the rear of the RX7:
piece in FRONT of wheel
arch panel
rear patch panel behind wheel

Stephen@sbrooks43.orangehome.co.uk

I bought a set of rears - they appear to be first class pieces. Steve was great to deal with. Note he is in Britain (and, hey, I'm in Alaska - no worries)

replacement fender panel sample

Here is one of the pair I bought - nice quality, shape looks right. Those Brits seem to be pretty good at this since everything there is in a permanent state of decomp.

Steve will email pics of all the RX7 panels he makes...

that is one sharp loking panel. looks perfect as far as fitment will be concerned. just a little cutting and welding and you're in business!
