Front wing fitment


Recommended Posts

Quite often that area needs leading to get that line straight to suit. But sometimes the beading will hide that, thats what it was there for in the first place. ;)

I have been trying to get my n/s front wing to fit correctly before painting. unfortunately I cannot get the gap fully close between the wing top and bulkhead., its about 2-3mm  Any tips.

Your pic isn't the best but... it looks like the deck and wing flanges are touching at their lowest edges meaning; they need dressing in to increase the angles so they mate at the top.

As Ken says “dress” the lowermost wing fold edge carefully 2 or 3mm closer to the inside of the wing. Then the folded top edge of the outer wing will more easily touch the inner wing vertical edge.

I think this is quite a common problem because as you remove the front wing it seems to stick at this point, so pressure is put to pull the wing from the bottom and thus bends the flange. I know this is what happened when I removed my front wings.
