Smith & Deakin fibreglass wings

Post by The Autoad »

If anybody is wondering about the fit of the Smith & Deakin fibre glass wings have a look for yourself below. They are not a bad fit, these still have a fair bit of flash to trim off so look like they could fit better. There is an issue following the middle surface panel on the door, but I think here the rear edge of the wing could be heated and shaped accordingly. The indy recess at the bottom may need some work too, but may look worse than it is due to camera angle. I'll check, there is some 'give' in the panel.

Hope this is useful.

They don't look too bad at all.
Especially when compared to the ones I first had on mine!!!

Hey ant, good to see them being lined up again.
I think that when i offered them up i started to mark up on them where i had to shave / cut down ie the indies, and maybe the back angle where they meet the "A" piller....
Heavy arnt they ! :chortle:
