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.

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!
