Wing attachment
« on: June 10, 2023, 02:16:17 PM »
Hi all,

I'm out on a lighthouse at the moment so I can't go and check but, is there any difference in the thin end of a series III front wing top compared to a series II?
Did all SII's have two bolt fixings and the III's have one?

Cheers
George

Yes they are different. Late 2a headlight in wings had one bolt.

Thanks for all of the replies so far guys.
Is there any issue with using a one bolt wing top instead of a two bolt wing top?

I have a one bolt on the drivers side as I have a servo, the other side is 2 bolt.
The only issue I have is I had to pop rivet the front panel on after removing the s3 light panel on.
