Decided to replace the stock wings with the sport equivalent, the main reason being I prefer the shape but also the indicator fits better. After a five week wait they eventually arrived, whilst waiting I also purchased some rubber trim from Car Builder Solutions as I don't really like the stuff I have. I'm glad I purchased the new trim because it was a nightmare to get round the corners - the other stuff will have been much harder. First job was to cut the hole for the indicator and get it in place, all done in the warm:
The trim was a pain to get round the corners - until I decided to use the hairdryer to warm it up.
Next I set about the wiring for each wing to the side repeater. I have seen blogs where people run the wires inside the support tube for the wing, this seems sensible and neat so I opted to make a small hole and grommet, then run along the top wishbone. I think long term I might wrap this in some amalgamated tape - not sure yet, for now its cable tied:
I stuck the cable to the inside of the wing with contact adhesive first, just to hold in place and then covered in sikaflex along with a generous amount to increase the contact area between bracket and wing:
When its all dried I will cover with underseal the same as the rears and the wheels can go back on. Both my Gearbox and Engine are now here waiting penitently for fitting....the cars turned around in the garage and on axle stands at the front, gearbox mount in and ready for engine prep:
