I've fitted 12 inch brakes to my J2 and they work a treat 
BUT.....they foul the wheel arch. The nuts of the brake 
shoe pivot pins have gouged about 1/8 of an inch out of the
wheel arch-it is down to the ply in one place. Has anyone 
found an easy solution to this? I can cut the body work 
away easily enough but then will be left with a raw edge of
aluminium and ply-how can I finish it off. I don't think 
that I can cut the ply and leave enough aluminium to reform
the bottom of the wheel arch as it is at present. Anyway 
the aluminium will be work hardened I guess. Any solutions 
that don't involve taking the body off and starting again 
would be appreciated. Thanks.
