Keith Thompson Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi all Trying to source a rear wheel arch for Home-Car PR 62 (same as Lunar Champ) 2009 Any info would be helpful : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Welcome to the Out&AboutLive forums, Keith. I believe the Home-Car PR62 model (photo attached) was the same as the Lunar Champ H622. It’s extremely doubtful that you’ll be able to source a rear wheel arch (which one - left or rignt?) nowadays, unless you could find a Home-Car/Champ that uses that wheel-arch moulding and is at a breakers, Even a very badly damaged plastic moulding is likely to be repairable - so it might be useful to know why you need this part.

Derek Uzzell Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Keith Thompson - 2018-02-16 8:30 PM Thanks for reply Bottom at one side broken off 50mm impact damage Quote for replacement-new £980:00 Does that mean that you’ve found someone who would be able to obtain the correct new wheel-arch or what? There are lots of firms that specialise in repairs to plastic car bumpers (examples here) https://tinyurl.com/yaqf72m5 and if the damage is ‘only’ restricted to a relatively small area of the arch (and repair is actually practicable) one of these firms might be able to do the job much cheaper than the £980 you’ve mentined.

Keith Thompson Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi derek Was quoted for them to fabricate a new arch-place in Doncaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 OK - fabricatiing a complete new wheel-arch is never going to be a cheap exercise. (In fact - looking at the design of the arch in the photo - I’m surprised that it would be a practicable proposition.) Are you certain the damaged arch is beyond repair?

Keith Thompson Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 The problem is as the damaged piece is missing is finding someone to fabricate and repair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I don't know what area you are in but I have used :- http://motorhomebumpers.com/ in the past and had a much more difficult and larger panel made at a fraction of that cost. Even if you don't have the broken part they will be able to use the other side for pattern to make the side you have damage on. Have a look at some of the work on the website. Several wheel arches in the gallery page. Totally recommend. Bas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monique.hubrechtsgm Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 A wheel arch front and rear in which your axles can travel is some important space. It is part of the base vehicle Ec approval. That means that you can not play around whit tyres. Only Alko have explicit dimensions. Not seen every this on fiat ducato van or motorhome..
