Rear wing (never knew that)

Stripping paint from my rear wings, I noticed the original 49 wing is all one stamping including the mounting flange. The slightly later wing stamped to take the helmet type lamp has the mounting flange welded on separate in two parts.

Just one of them little differences I guess.

Does away with one more water trap!
My 52 rear wings were reasonably sound except for the mounting flange, I spent ages forming new ones from strip to repair them.
