I don't know how to do links on here but if you search for "Sprinter arches pictures" there is a thread at the top of that search, with a step by step guide. Is that the one you are after?

The Sprinter arches are about 50mm shy in width, to get a good fit they need to be cut in the middle and a 50mm (approx.)fillet welded in.

Good Luck.

You need to click on the address bar at the top of what you want to copy, press select all/copy then open where you want to put the link and click paste.

Someone may well explain it a bit better. :?
