series mm wings

[beatroot]

Can anyone please tell me the difference between series mm/II and minor 1000 wings and other body panels

[Chris Morley]

The Minor 1000's shape was significantly altered from that of the earlier cars. Many panels are different. My best advice is get a book out from the library and most of the differences will be obvious on close scrutiny.
The minor 1000 rear wings are more exaggerated and cover more of the wheelarch than on the earlier cars - plus holes for the indicator lights on all wings will be different. Also it looks like the profile may be slightly different from the series 2 wings at the front where the 'hockey sticks' are fitted.
I believe the later wings may be fitted,but they need expert alteration to look like series 2 wings. MM lowlight wings and all split screen bonnets are very different and incompatible with MM1000 items.[ This Message was edited by: Chris Morley on 21-02-2002 23:47 ]

thanks for replying. what i wanted to know is if i could replace the rear wings with a straight foward swop from a minor 1000 as early wings are so rare and expensive

yes you can put minor 1000 wings onto series II saloon at the back with no alteration

Thanks for that, I was going to ask the same question.

On the same subject: Does anyone make a kit to convert a MM back to the original low-light vesion (or could i just bolt on the low-light wings)? as I need new wings anyway I'd far rather put it back the way it was. And who SELLS MM WINGS ANYWAY ? CHEERS ALL

Firstly - are you sure it was a lowlight?
