Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi all, I have now reached the point where I need to decided, should I go for "new" rear wings or repair the ones I have. The ones I have are not to bad overall but the edge where they bolt to the car is almost non existant. One had been welded on to the car (in a totally wrong position!) the other had been removed or fallen off! and a different colour one was supplied with the car when I bought it. Im not sure if they are original or have been replaced in the past. So..... I'm tempted to go for new ones but I'm unsure as to how difficult they will be to fit or line up correctly. Anyone have any experiance with pattern, uk made, heritage or any other types out there?

Rear wings (pattern) from Bullmotif fit great. I've fitted 3 so far and they have all been OK - It's the fronts that are the offspings of unmarried parents

2 rear wings I can understand, but 3 !!!???!!!

I was going to be funny and say it was the wifes car
But, obviously they didn't all go on the same car....

Just a bit of leg pull!

I guesed
I am in the process of modifying some to the early high cut style at the moment too - As if I didn't have enough to do

My original high cut wings were sound apart from parts of the mounting flange, I ground it all off repaired the wing edge and made a new mounting flange, then sold them and bought a pair of new ones! Seemed a good idea at the time?

Can't find new ones for sale though at the mo..... ?

I got mine from ESM - they were standard 1000 wings modified to suit. I did have to alter the rear light cut out though as mine are the early glass lens lights

Ok thanks - I'll check them out but I will have to do the rear light cut out too so I guess they are only doing the same as I am doing. I see alot of cars with the wrong rear wings on them so there must be a market for the correct ones... If only I can make them commercially viable

Normally takes me about 1/2hr - 1hr to modify a wing to a high cut one, though few people bother with the dfficulty or expense or even appreciate the difference. Nice to see folk who do care!

and then you get people who have pretty bloody good high cut wings all things considered who go and fit glass wide wings...whoops! best bit of bastardisation i've ever done!

Thanks PSL, good to know there aer some decent panels out there! Just out of interest, do you know who produces them? are they made specialy for BM or by that well know panel co. H*****n? I can get "H" panels locally and save on postage but if there made for BM by someone else I will just have to bite the bullet and pay the hefty postal charges.

I'm not sure who makes them but I believe postage is free from BM if your order is over £50 ?

Yeah thats what I thought but the small print says; excludes wings, interior trim, engines, gearboxes and a number of low margin items!

Oh pants - If it helps the wings come with a green and white sticker on them and say they are made in UK.....?

Same as this one.... but I don't think they say the "H" word on them, but the numbering system and font / layout etc is the same.

isn't LMC hadrian?
