Huddusfield Mini Spares do a set of non genuine sportspack arches that claim to be the best non genuine ones around for a lot cheaper.

Just wondering if anyone has come across any better ones? Or ones to recommend as genuine ones are out of the question for a while.

Thanks a lot,
Anton

the genuine ones were to expensive for me but are very good aparently.

i bought the mini sport ones and have not yet fitted them. i wont be. from what i have heard they are rubbish. they are hard to fit because of their flexability due to the fact they are rubber and are also hard to paint because they move. dont buy them. what you want is the harder fiberglass ones. they will fit better and be easier to paint. as long as they are stiff you shouldnt have a problem. the ones from huddersfeild should be good. i will be scraping my rubber ones for those huddersfeild ones. hope thos helps

How do these differ? They are both the same width

The only difference is the premiums have captive inserts and bolts.

Thanks Graham. We're all for naming names on here and for giving credit where it's due.
