cheers for the response guys

but the problem lies with the fact a jimny wing is only about 2 or 3mm thick and with the plastic inner arches removed it leaves a big void under the wheel arch.

so maybe if i made some L shaped brackets to fit the rubber it may work.

any other ideas are very welcome

cheers

you could do what i did with belt rubber just make it as wide as you want very strong and stiff it would cope withe been stuck out a foot no problem, bolted to the inside of the arches,then sealed with gasket sealent atb dave.
