DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Oh and an additional hole in the headlight bowl for wiring. Might be a lab headlight bowl thinking out loud

Do a search for dansk on the forum and have a read

They don't make repro SWB wings

Yes they do!

Design911 stock them
Roger Bray can get them
Even Euro car parts can get them

Correct SWB wings ?

I tried fitting a repro MGB front wing years ago, not good but wasn't apparent until it came to getting a decent ish fit. Steer clear of repro if you want a chance of a half reasonable fit. HTH

Do Dansk actually press a SWB wing or only a 69 onwards slightly more flared wing with different light pods ?

the reason I asked about Dansk. just pick my 1966 912 (on a trailer) in need of restoration. went back via http://www.gmundcars.com/ for them to look it over and give me some pointers . Andy at Gmund said to get any parts from Dansk as they us them for parts

I'll have it on a ramp in the next week or so. I'll post photos on a new thread

A skilled metalworker that companies charge a high rate per hour to have work on your car would get them to fit but most of us are hobbyists, me included.

Even if the wings are flared more and the front indicators and grills are different on LWB cars ?

Yes they are its a whole different structure.

How bad are your wings? you can certainly buy new indicator boxes and headlight bowls. Repairing the double skinned areas of the wings is certainly doable with a little time and a welder.

Thanks they are pretty bad tbh
They have had repairs in the past headlight bowls and indicator boxes are solid it's more the wing tops and the inner skins

Hi All

I agree with Sean, I bought 2 wings, 2 quarters & 2 door skins from Cambridge OPC and they gave me a very good discount 2 years ago. More importantly they are very close the originals, fitted well without much work and compared to other suppliers are far superior in quality/gauge of metal in my opinion.

If you are going to all the trouble in the first place I would consider them well worth the extra money, certainly my body shop thanked me.

Cheers

wow the prices have jumped the last few years
i paid 600+vat for one at my local OPC just 3 years ago
