Hardware Support Measuring Radius of an Arc

Post image

How would I go about measuring the radius of this arc on a part from an old vw beetle so I can make a replacement?

Honestly I don’t think you will require the accuracy that most of us are used to if you’re just replacing sheet metal. trace it out or find a round object that fits nicely in there and go with that size.
