Onobtainable as no one made
Onobtainable as no one made them for Fourtraks, to replace then you had to replace the entire 1/4 panel which was obtainable from Daihatsu only.
Two options, make a template and form your own in steel, or try aftermarket suppliers for plastic ones which are similar, and modify them.

er dont fancy doing whole 1/4 panel ill finish of with the steel ive got.
ill look into the plastic ones though just in case they rot through again.

One idea, bye plastic
One idea, bye plastic Landrover Spatz / wheel arches off e-bay, then cut your wheel arches to fit them.
How prity should this be? Are we talking shiny head turning beautiful, beatten up green lane car or slightly tatty but not ugly everyday vehicle?
