Wing stays

I know this has been covered a lot but couldnt find the answers I needed.

Do different manufacturers wing stays fit differently?

If so who makes the simplest to fit? and how do they fit?

If they all fit about the same way, whose are best value? So not necesarily cheapest, but good quality and inexpensive?

This is all for a sierra based robinhood s7.

I've done a bit of research on just this, and come to the conclusion that there are as many versions of wing stays as there are 7alikes. Maybe people could post pics of theirs and you can decide what would be best for your hubs.

I'm using the Cortina uprights, these are my 2 types i've used.

powder coating

Using the 3 dust cover holes.

These use 2 dust cover holes and the lower ball joint.

That makes sense why it's so hard to find definitive information on them then.

Ideally I want something that will bolt on, further than that I havent given it much thought.

NTDWM used these on my haynes roadster and am well satisfied.

How do they attach?

Fixing points are the lower wishbone ball joint and mushroom clamp bolt.
