PaulR Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 The current situation provides an opportunity to re-visit my 14 year old fibreglass & filler repair to the front of my o/s front wing. It held up really well & I had forgotten how bad the wing was - see photos. Now wanting to do a repair in metal rather than filler. Does anyone make a repair panel for this area & if not has anyone got any suggestions Many Thx in advance Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter V W Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Paul, What is the rest of the panel like? maybe better to look out for a quality second hand panel. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hi Paul, that is a big repair. I can't see a ready made repair section on Moss. A good panel beater would sort it but it is difficult. I have a similar issue on a unused damaged Front LH wing. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david ferry Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 I’ve probably got a wing with that area in reasonable condition if you really do want to repair yours. Happy to sell you a complete wing, but you’ll need to come and collect it from Warwickshire. Alternatively, if you don’t want the rest, I can chop off the area you want and post it to you.

stuart Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 It is unfortunately the usual place for a wing to rot (plus the rear that goes over the sill) I have had to repair a few and then lead to finish . Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin Symonds Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 I do like to see a good bit of lead filling, I remember seeing my father do it, it's becoming a lost art. Kudos Stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hi Stuart, that always looks so impressive. Nice Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulR Posted November 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 As the rest of the wing is in good shape I like David's idea of cutting the front off an existing wing Dave I hope that I have sent you a message through the forum, although I have never one that before so hope you get it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PaulR Posted December 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Update Huge Thx to David Ferry who very kindly was able to send me the front end of a wing that a local welder did a fine job of attaching. Now just need to do some fettling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
