hi

Can someone tell me if there is a difference between the SWB front wings and the LWB front wings as long as the LWB wings are long bonnet are they interchangeable.

If not what are the differences?

SWB wings has very little flare and have different mountings for the indicator housings, which are shorter on a SWB

I can vouch for the quality of this repair and conversion, they're mine !
I am backdating a very late SC to 73 RS Spec, and was going to go for GRP front wings until I spoke to Fell Lane.
The great thing about this conversion is the ease of fit going back onto the car, I've experienced the trials and tribulations many times before on competition cars and this was a breeze.

Hi, not as far as I know, Jeff at Fell Lane Motorsport made them and welded them in.
Talk to Chris Flavell at Fenn Lane..
My wings have been on the car over a year now and the car has stood out all winter (albeit I heavily painted , protected and waxoiled them on the inside,because I knew the car was to stand outside), and there is no sign of any corrosion whatsoever. I may not have had to do that as the E-Coating that Fell Lane did is extremely tough, but I'm a belt and braces man.
I'm highly delighted with the conversion, couldn't have been better.
Regards
Steve
