I’m restoring my 1970 2a and need new outer wings, I can’t seem to find anyone who has any metal ones and was wondering if anybody has any experience/ comments on the ABS plastic ones??

I fitted a pair to my 109 truck cab, fitted ok and once painted I cannot see the difference.

S/h wings are still fairly cheap and they are easy enough to take apart so I would not write off that as an option depending on what is around locally. When I was rebuilding mine I ended up with three pairs of wings (bought various job lots of parts to get what I needed) I made a good pair out of the three, and then made and average and a poor pair what I then resold.

Repairs like that worry me when they are too well done. Someone took care to make sure that fitted and was probably rather pleased with themselves
