mk1 escort help needed with arches

[slider]

Hi guys i bough a mk1 escort about 6 months ago, its had fibreglass arches fitted and all looked ok until i fitted the rear axle and wheels today, 

 

its had new tramp bars, leaf springs a mk1 capri atlas and new rubbers fitted and im 99% certain that the axle is in the correct position as the locating pins line up fine and the tramp bars look and measure to be spot on, the trouble i have is it look like the rear arches have been fitted incorrectly as the n/s is almost touching the tyre and teh o/s has a good 2cm of clearance

 

what im after is pictures of a straight on view so i can gauge what sort of clearance i should have around the wheels, and if possible even some measurements or advice on where to go from here

 

email if its easier  simondshaw@yahoo.co.uk

 

 

many thanks in advance

you didn't buy this from Bromsgrove did you?

off ebay m8, it came without a back axle and i only saw photos which to my untrained eye looked ok, i think the rears have just been badly fitted and its just a case of rejigging them a bit

They look pissed from here but I haven't seen a bubbled esc in the flesh before, maybe they all look that bad? By bad I just mean that the arch in top pic looks a bit squarish and not even.

I would cut them out and re fibreglass them
