garymorris Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I've just started fitting the panels on a Whitbread tubular wing kit (standard wing shape) and come to fit the original wheel spats and they don't seem to be a brilliant fit ...... Not far away . So has anyone on here fitting they're original spats back on and what did they fit like ? Just checking before i force mine on .... Also what have people done with heater intake , as I can't get the plastic duct to fit in ???? Thanks in advance Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLineMike Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 when i worked at whitbread, we never refitted the standard spats, we went for a strip of 3mm HDPE plastic as a spat,heater intake goes in the skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi Gary, have a look at my build thread (link below) as I used whitbread standard wings for my build. I made a steel frame to rivet the spats too and yes the standard heater intake doesn't fit now. At the moment I'm still running with a cut down version jammed in the gap, but want to make a new one sometime! Hope that helps!

garymorris Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 @ Mike ,o.k thanks for that @ Steve , just read you thread , you've done a really tidy job with great attention to detail , only wish I'd read it before ordering my tubular wings , yours is by far the tidiest solution to get tubular wings whilst keeping the standard shape Thanks Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thanks Gary, That's exactly what I wanted to build: challenge wings which look standard to the untrained eye! Good luck with the build! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
