Mike59 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Can anyone tell me if there is a repair panel available for the bottom of the rear wing, the section where it attaches to the sill/ B'post. I notice Rimmers offer one which appears to be just the section which wraps under the sill, mine needs to be a few inches longer which takes it part of the wheel arch. I'm sure this section could be repaired but difficult and time consuming to do. Thanks in advance for anybody's help. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably best to buy the repair piece and the make the rest up yourself. This gives a fair bit to start with. https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr5-6/body-chassis/body-panels/wing-repair-panels-tr4-5-53903.html Stuart.

MikeThomas Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Stuart I dont know you as we have never met or spoken. I've been a member of the TRRegister circa 2017, when I got my 5. All I wanted to say to you is that you are so helpful, informative and understanding with all your responses for help with TR5 matters. I know you are not alone in giving advice and there are some other really good contributors. But for me you stand out and this doesn't go unnoticed. People like you and those other contributors make this forum a 'superb resource' for us TR5 owners. Best wishes, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike59 Posted March 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Many thanks for your comments and help, as mentioned by Elclem1 most of the secondhand wings are usually rotted out in the same area as mine. The wing I have fitted had a previous repair some 20 years ago and was showing signs of going again due to me using the car all year around including in bad weather. Now I have removed the wing it isn't actually to bad and is easily repairable. The rest of the wing is perfect and is an original stanpart fitted by myself and the previous owner some 40 years ago. Thanks again everyone for your help. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Hi Mike, would you have a photo or two? Just curious as to effective repair , I've a TR4 and had in teh past the same problem. up yo the first crease line, easy peasy, but then when the wing radiouses out to the wheelarch, very much more of achallenge, and I've often wondered how to repair properly.
