Jim Allen Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Body coming together nicely. Looks very good in it's original BRG. I have across this bracket in my left over bits and discovered it's a rear wing clamp. Now if someone could tell me -show me with pictures- where and how it fits I'd be even happier.

Ian Vincent Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 It fits on the last (i.e. nearest the rear) dome headed screw securing the wing. One each side of the car. The purpose is to provide a clamping effect nearer to the rear light cluster. To fit them you need long arms or a helper. I managed on my own. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Make sure you fit it the right way round - it does not fit flat against the flange, but acts a bit like a flat spring, in that the short edge should be pushing the rear corner of the wing towards the body.

Fireman049 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) These clamps are a swine to fit! I had to put a slight bend in mine. Fit them facing vertically down the body and get the mushroom head screw to just enter the thread then swing the clamp up to engage with the wing and finally tighten up. Believe me they are terrible things to fit!! No such things on Austin Healey's and MGA's! Tom. Edited February 26, 2016 by Fireman049 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 No such thing on my 3a either. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lebro Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Nice pictures, yep, that's the one. When I was building up my car I had to get these brackets new from Moss, the ones they supplied had the captive nut on the wrong side ! Told them about it, & they said all the ones in stock were the same. I altered mine to be correct, but I did wonder how many have been fitted the wrong way round, & as such will not be doing very much. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomMull Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Nice pics, Tush. Worth a thousand words. By the way, I made mine from a rusty example I used as a pattern. Easy enough. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
