Dimension needed please- rear wing mount

Post by purplepeter » 8th February 2023 - 10:09am

Could someone with a late model car, or even just a rear wing, give me the dimension from straight edge of wing on B post, to the mounting hole/bolt on the bottom edge?
My wings are in the darkest recess of the garage at the mo & I'm doing the sills at the mo!

Please someone help Peter. I've let him down as I can't get at my car at the moment!

I would go for 197mm Front Edge of Rear Wing to Bottom Bolt Hole centre. I was trying to take a Photo but did not have enough Hands to hold a Steel Rule and my Phone. Mrs U has got the Beef in the Oven now, so can Photo if you want.

I`m assuming we are talking about a Late Type 3 ? Ours is October 1973 MHM 68L 1600 Variant Automatic.

Have taken Photo now with Steel Rule for you to see the measurement.

No idea how to post a Photo on here but could email if you want.

Itll be a quirk of the phone you used.
