Kilmartin rear inner fenders

I just recently had to replace the rear inner fenders on my BN4. I ordered a pair from a supplier that I normally get good parts from. In this case, they were beyond terrible. They were two pieces of metal spot welded together to form one panel. The rear arch was a full 1" wider than the actual arch. The end of the panel where the shut pillar goes was completely unfinished (cut to size).

I didn't touch them, I just boxed them up and sent them back. Then I ordered Kilmartin panels from CA.

They are amazing. I would bet money that they were stamped from the original dies. They cost a pretty penny, but saved me a pile of hours on trimming and fitting.

This was my first experience with Kilmartin. I just thought I'd pass along a referral.
 
Hi Glen
I heartily agree. I used Kilmartin panels for my MGA and on the BN4 I am now restoring. The pieces fit very well. Their sills now have the correct curve in them, as do the front fender repair sections and Greg Kilmartin is very friendly and helpful. Of course, it is easier if you live in Aus.
cheers

On my car I have a few panels, a dash and a pair of seat frames which I bought from Kilmartin a few years ago. I drove up there as I wanted the parts that day, and I have to agree that Greg Kilmartin is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It was a pleasant change having come across one or two complete idiots not long before while on the hunt for parts. My dad has also bought some of his MG stuff and had an equally good experience.

Good products and a good bloke.
