They are euro arches. Once-opon-a-atime sold by Minispares, but no longer.

It might be worth giving them a call to see if they happen to habve any still hanging around, but you'll be very lucky if they do.

Might also be worth asking if they sold the moulds to anyone. just incase someone else is producing them.

I can't see them being group 2 arches. have you a link or a opicture of the ones you have bought.

The ones in your picture are identical to the ones on my road mini, and thoes are Euro arches.

The Group 5s I have on my racer are completly different, they are not smooth to start off with as they are screw fixed from the side. Also the group 5s have no curve to meet the sill line as the ones in the picture have.

These are geroup 5s (the group 2s being the same but narrower)

nothing like the original picture you'll agree.

EURO's, yes do sell em.

Will sort out pics of Gp2s (3 types) Gp5s (2 types) EUROSs, Specials, etc

Their is no such thing as Gp5 EURO or Gp6 as these never existed, what they are are people with a different style of arch & putting them in a bracket to sell em.
