Ive got some coming tommorow. I'm scared of ruibibg them. You can get templates off ebay for about a fiver i think. Lots on there. If you get copy arches i think they just bolt onto special arches...

woh woh hold up.

if you go onto minispares website and look on there page about how to fit stuff you can down load the templates for free.

all you have to do is make sure you print them to the correct scale and then stick them together thats what i used and they were fine.

i will put up a link when i find it......................

SORRY THIS NO LONGER EXISTS

the arches should come with 5 studs which are threaded on them these go through holes you drill in the arch and then nuts are placed on the inside. at the bootom edge near the door you can use a pop rivet or a screw to sercure.
as stated register with mini spares they have free templates.
