Hi all. I have cortina front suspension. I have pair of cycle wings to fit. Trying to figure out where to mount them without fouling brakes etc. Would anyo e have any pics of their set up. Greatly appreciated.

Hello,

The cycle wings themselves should sit over the top of the tryes (make sure you can still get the wheels on/off with them fitted).

The mounting brackets should bolt to the uprights/wishbones and be clear of the brakes already. The brake discs and calipers should be inside the wheel recess, but you will need to ensure the mounting brackets don't affect the brake hoses (rub/foul etc.).

When I fitted the cycle wings on my MK Indy I used blocks of wood between the tyres and brackets to help me bend the brackets to shape.
