Capri wheel arch profile

Hi everyone, I'm currently in the process of removing flared wheel arches from the rear of my 1970 GT I am wanting to put back to original profile. Not to sure if the arches have a little flare or go straight down. Can sameone with an original untouched GT let me know. Maybe even post some pics of rear and front gaurds to show oringal flare profile.
Thanks Steve

    You can buy brand new MK1 arch sections at a pretty good price on Ebay UK, might be better to cut and shut a pair in

    Yeah that is what am using but it is hard to tell what angle the flare is set if any.

    Looking at mine which are untouched, they are almost vertical, the bottom angles out by one or 2 degrees

    Thanks for that info. That is what I thought after looking at photos on the net. Can you tell if the fronts are the same?
