Yes they look to me that they are the same as whats on colins motor but he is not 100% . I believe he is going to check with an old friend of his who also had them fitted to a car.

 

So are " Twin cam spats " the same thing as " Mexico / Twin cam arches "

 

Colin said that Mexico rears arches are smaller than his but they look the same to me as above ?

 

Thanks Wayne .
