Eightpot Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Aside from the slot for the exposed hing to poke out of, are there any other differences between early exposed hing front wings and later wings? I'm finding it difficult to get hold of a replacement early wing, and as the later wings are a bit easier to get I'm thinking it might be easy enough to modify one to fit - ie chop an 'ole out..

headdamage Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I don't know but I'm interested in the answer myself. I've got a 1987 and a 1993 RRC and would like to combine the best bits from both. The wings on the 93 are in great shape but I'd like to use the 87 Doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fett Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I saw some good 2 door wings at rimmer bros on sale a while back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p76rangie Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Outside the exposed hinges, you need to check the location of the small turning indicator located in the panel. They kept on moving depending on the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
task Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It's a little more than a cutout, the metal is nicely shaped to give no sharp edges. Not that easy to re-create with the alloy wings, that might just be me being a little anal though. :/ Also, the mounting point from wing to A-post is different. With regards doors, whilst early and late door skins are the same the stuff inside moved about a lot, the door locking mechanism changed along with mounts for door cards etc. Wiring had different connections for different model years. Not saying it can't be done though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
