Fitting rear wings to a 'new' chassis

[John Ryan]

Just got to this stage. I have seen a lot of posts on this after a search. However, there is a cutout in my wings that seems to fit well into the front of the radius arm.

 

Positioned this way, the front bottom of the wing is about 7mm lower than the bottom of the chassis, and the back seems to fit nicely too.

 

Is it really this simple to position these, or have I (as normal) missed something?

 

Thanks in advance!

From memory mine were all predrilled, the hardest bit was getting the wing piping trimmed around the curve...........wig should just bolt on........no bother

When I did the same, I measured the front of the wing to be 100mm in front of a line drawn vertically from the centre of the A-frame mounting bolt. The bottom of the wing was mounted to be flush with the bottom of the side panel and at the rear to be flush with the bottom of the panel as well. I fitted the front lowest bolt first and then the rear lowest. I did several trial fits to make sure everything looked right. Just take your time and check the positioning every time you put a new hole in the skin. Use masking tape as described in Myles' write up.

If you need to mount piping on rear wings or rearwing protections use double side tape.
