robche Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 So.... a bit naive here so excuse my stupidity! I bought these wings from a guy who said they were for a 1200. They aint.I want to resell them but want to advertise them correctly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paudman Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 13/60 wings possibly; that’s a strange profile around the headlamp but am I right that 1200 wings are no longer available and it’s just a question of fitting and fettling around the headlamp area with the ones that ARE available?

robche Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Anyone got any 1200 wings? Struggling a bit... ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Stanpart 1200 wings are scarce, repros aren't worth bothering with. The latter are modified from the 13/60 pressings which you already have, but the profile under the headlamp is all wrong.In the absence of originals, best practice currently is to use the 13/60 wings, making a diagonal cut from just behind the top front corner down to just ahead of the corner at the front of the wheelarch. Cut the 1200 wing away, leaving the corresponding front section in place. You now need to graft the old front to the new section in situ. You will need to do a little fabricating to make good any rot under the sidelight, but this approach is infinitely better than making the repro 1200 wings look anything like they should,Cheers,Bill.

JohnD Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 13/60? Pshaw!That's from the very rare Triumph Vitesse-Mercedes W108, the one with the stacked headlights. Gold dust, in fact Fairy dust, if you have two!Nhoj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
