hi guys,
ok anyone know what shape these little brackets should be? The ones on my cab are bent, or at least one of them is, and I need to know what shape to restore them to!
Here's a photo of the brackets I'm on about:
Are they to locate the kickplates maybe?
cheers for all advice

The little bracket is used to space out the wing. In standard form it sholud be squared up, but may need to be adjusted in order to put the wing in the correct position.

These brackets can be the source of very annoying rattles if they have
been adjusted in the past and are not now touching the wings.

That little bracket fell off my Traveller RHS when I re-built the inner wing!
Thats reminded me of why the front wing doesn't quite fit right.....
