After cleaning up the pant extensions you can see in the first pic how the old shape curves in and the new goes straight down. The next pic is after cleaning up the old excess. From here I went on to do a two ply reinforcement of the inside area.

The edges of the four pant halves are pretty thing so I’ve beefed them up with an extra two ply of S glass. This area needs to be thick enough for nut plates or whatever sort of fasteners I end up using. For now its about getting the strength and I’ll just use clicos for a while.

You can see the old cure and the new piece here giving more tire clearance and this means I can take this outside down lower covering more tire.

The old is ground away.

Here I’m reinforcing the edges of the parts with S glass in both pics. In the one below you can see the extended edge clearly in the left side pant.
