When fitting a wide arch kit your left with 2 spaces one from where the rear arches get cut and the same with the front

How do people get round this And what do you use material wise?

properly, you are meant to chop the old inner & outer arches, smooth the edge, & then make a filler of either steel or grp for the hole.

So basically weld a plate from the inner wing out to the arch and attach with brackets?

Or weld the inner and out after they've been cut and make a plate across?
