Front wings!
OK I give up.
Can anyone provide me with mounting details for clamshell wings please?
I have searched in vain to see how these are attached. I presume there is some form of bracketry involved. I just can't seem to find any info. I
must be looking in all the wrong places.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Just use cycle wings - they look better and don't 'lift' the front end off the ground at speed

I want to fit clamshells for that 'retro' look, initially and I already have them.
Also I am using a 1300 x-flow, it won't do 'speed'!
Thanks for the input tho'.
C'mon guys, someone must own up to having fitted them. Pretend it was for someone else if you are embarrassed.

That's how mine were fitted.... but I sorted that soon after buying it. Cycle wings look soooooo much better.
Summer's here!!!!

They still provide quite a significant amount of lift just less than swept wings.

Clamshell wings look far better than cycle. Thats what should be on 7 type cars.

I am on track for clamshells too as I have a pair of Westfield ones. Any help on form and dimensions of the front bracket would be very helpful.
TIA
