Front outer wing repair

Post by stroprock »

My minor saloons' front wings have rust at the back of them where they join to the flitch/hinge area. Is there a repair section available for these as I have searched but can only find inner wing body parts?

They dont make this repair section any more, Henrics made one years ago but chances of finding one are slim. I repaired the wings on my lowlight in this area. The bit that bolts onto the car car be removed, its held by about 6 spot welds and then its just a case of taking you time and cutting out the rust. That makes it sounds so simple :-?

A very common rust area indeed. I have 4 rusted wings and one good one - I'm going to attempt to fabricate my own repair section - using the good wing as a template. Might try to make few extra ones while I'm at it! :lol: :lol: :lol:
That's strange R2, the damage doesn't look so bad from here!
