wings

[hodgson4711]

hi, can you tell me do replacement wings have to be spot welded into place or can they be pop rivetted. i've got a mig welder which i can't use and a pop rivetter which i can use. regards dave

[transitgeoff]

how were the old ones held on

[hodgson4711]

they have been welded continusly olong the top edge. but i think that had been done by the previous owner.

you can legally (MOT wise) pop rivit them as they are not structurally load bearing but if you want to win best in show then get that mig out

My mk2 has both wing bolted with some kind of self tapping bolts M8 or M10, it was done by a friend of the previous owner who was a panel beater. They are laid on some kind of silicon product (Bond and seal or somwthing like that..) and then thightend by bolts. Is that posible to do it in a mk1??
