James.Burton Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Hi, My cycle wing stay broke through. Looking at Caterham car parts, none of the designs they show match my part (1996 VXi).1st pic - broken rear leg.2nd pic - stress crack coming on front leg.3rd pic - large additional web weld across the bend of the leg, which looks to be original. And it's this I can't find a match for in Caterham Car parts online store. Should I ask my local garage to do a weld up job? Or will one of the new designs fit? Cheers for any advice.

Area Representative Paul Richards Posted August 15, 2023 Area Representative Share Posted August 15, 2023 Is this not what you want? https://caterhamparts.co.uk/brackets/7574-cycle-wingstay-rh.html Does however appear to be out of stock. Considering the price I'd be welding it but if you want to purchase I'd contact Redline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James.Burton Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 That's the sort of thing. Is a very different shape than the current one. Will ask CC for their input.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan c Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I had mine welded by local garage many years ago, with the wing off and some protection it was done in situ. They had been cut down and welded previously and one joint failed but no reason why same approach should not work, think we put a bit of steel bar in the tube to help.

ChrisC Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 The current wing stays have a different brace to yours. Yours are flat, the current ones have a small lip to increase strength (I assume). Not sure if Redline or Arch can supply original design items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 My first choice would be removing, stripping, inspecting, welding and powder coating. Both sides.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
