Can someone explain the difference between the following front wing to me? Which of these three wings fits on my Minor year of construction February 1963 ?

Front Wing (Steel Genuine Heritage)

Front Wing (Steel Pattern)

Front Wing Modified For Small Sidelight (Heritage)

Thx Olli

Olli,

For Feb 1963 you should have these lights:

If you do then you want: Front Wing Modified For Small Sidelight (Heritage)

If you have the later light (October 1963 onwards):

Then you need: Front Wing (Steel Genuine Heritage) or Front Wing (Steel Pattern)

The Front Wing (Steel Genuine Heritage) is simply a better quality wing than the Front Wing (Steel Pattern) one.

I would say that LMC Hadrian pattern wings have the edge over the Heritage ones. The Heritage wings are produced from a slightly heavier guage steel but this is no substitute for better fit and shape found on the LMC wings.

ESM are stockists of Hadrian panels and are on Hadrian's list.

Thanks, I already know ESM and my first plates there ordered. ESM has fast supplied, also to Germany. I think which I my fenders will order there shortly.

I checked times on my plates. There also Hadrian.

Is Hadrian the best manufacturer of plates?

Hadrian seems to be pretty much the best at the moment I think.

I ordered some body panels from ESM which arrived at the weekend and they have the 'Hadrian' stickers on. They seem pretty OK too, although I have not fitted them yet!
