Wheel Arch

[Mark D]

Hi all. I have another question/problem with my '72 lowlight. I need a new D/S wheel housing as the original has more holes than a colander due to many different seat conversions....and rust... but the only one available, supposedly for my bus is different. The new one has a much larger flat area for the seat rails, instead of a step like mine

   

   

Oddly enough, the seat rails, which I have to buy, also have the step....meaning that they'll fit my old housing, but not the new one.....?

   

Has anyone come across this problem before? And if so, what's the solution....fab my own patch panel? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks
