Evening all

Just trimmed one of the front wings with the old herringbone trim and got all the way round.

What's the best way to cut it without crimping the metal inside so I can still get the end over the wing?

I thought hacksaw but thought I'd check before making a lash of it as it looks really good and things haven't been going well on the car of late so this makes a nice change

Help with best tool for making a neat job appreciated.

thanks
Nigel

I've always cut it with wire snippers (side cutters?), then opened it out with a large flat-bladed screwdriver. Then trial fit it - if a bit too loose, pinch up the edges again a bit

I used a junior hacksaw.

Sharp side cutters

The steel inside is arranged like teeth

(sorry for the bad ASCII drawing!)

I used strong side-cutters - first cut a bit over-sized, then trim back until I'm not trying to cut through a thick bit of steel.

I suggest that you play with an end (ooer!) to see what I mean.

I used an old pair of tinsnips, quick and a clean cut.
