willfromsussex Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Range Rover classic 2 door, how do the front wings attach at the bottom? (A pillar area) I think I must be missing some kind of bracket or something, anyone got a photo or diagram of how they attach to the car? does the plastic side trim have anything to do with this (not installed at present) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway_Star Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The key is in the side trim. The wing bolts to the side trim at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie50 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 There are 2 bolts which go through the wings and through the sill trims, there is also a bracket running fron the bottom of the wing backwards but I cannot remember where they fasten, I lost mine during a rebuild years ago, the wings have been fastened to the trim only since with no problems.

willfromsussex Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 thanks. i bought wing mounting kits from one of the landrover parts places, two pieces go along the top, but there are 2 mystery brackets, maybe they are something to do with that bottom reinforcing bit?

Strega Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 That does not look like the bracket I have holding the bottom of my wings on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three brackets at the top ... is that 391317 that goes right at the 'back' end on top of the wing. Imagine the top edge of the wing from the headlight box - you have a short bit of cranked angle, a long straight piece then a third, short length ... probably hidden under the deck panel.

willfromsussex Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 thanks Andy. odd that they make it in several bits but at least I know what it's for now. I wasn't intending to put the plastic sill trims on but I guess I will now . Need to find some new clips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101nut Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 thanks Andy. odd that they make it in several bits but at least I know what it's for now. I wasn't intending to put the plastic sill trims on but I guess I will now . Need to find some new clips No problem. Why replace the sill trims? Vanity? Desire for rusty sills? Amusement factor with the noise of sloshing water caught in them? I suppose they do neaten the door bottoms a bit but I run without the trims. The wing fixings to the A pillar give sufficient rigidity to the panel as far as I can tell and I've only been running like it for the last 5 years ... If you're really desperate to fix the bottom of the wing a simple strap onto the sill will do the job. AndyG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willfromsussex Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 I was hoping they would help with ground effect, enabling high speed cornering Well it's a long way off the stage where I need to worry about putting those on or not, it's not even got the bodyshell on it right now.
