I want to fit side repeaters on top of my front clamshell wings, or do I have to fit them ont the outer edge?

Are you pre or post IVA? I dont think you can have clamshell wings for IVA as they dont meet the requirements for covering the wheels.

I am pre IVA. I am not sure but understand that the westfield wings are no good but the clamshell wings I have are OK. I have looked at the diagram that is shown on wheel coverage and seems that I will meet the requirements. I am still at the stage where I can change to cycle wings but the lotus seven used these and I prefer the look.

I think the clamshell wings have to be like the Morgan ones

I have just looked at the diagram again and it says that The wheel guard must extend at least 30 degrees from the centre of the wheel to the front. The wheel guard must extend at least 50 degrees from the centre of the wheel to the rear, and The rear of the wheel guard must not terminate above a horizontal plane of 150mm above the wheel centre.

My wings seem to meet this but want to be sure. This site is just ace as there is always some one willing to help

Do you have any photos of the clamshell wings?
From what you say it seems you will be ok but best to check maybe with vosa

Going to change to cycle wings don't want to take a chance on clamshell wings.
Many Thanks
