hi all
is there a preferred sequence for fitting the moulded ruber concertina neck to the fuel pipe inside the front wing
is it better to fit it to the wing
before ataching the wing or is it posible to fit up onto the wing
after the wings been fixed on to the car
thanks

If I have had the front wing off, I have always fitted it to the inner wing first, then fit the wing and then fit it to the wing and then install the fixing ring.
Thats just the way I normally do it.

I always fit it after the wing is fitted!

alan, nick
the car is in the paint shop and only today realised I have this situation to sort out,
fingers crossed I go to see it finished this weekend, so rather than disrupt things, now I know its possible to install after, (ala nick) then that's easiest for me
much appreciate the advice

To be honest, it's a pretty easy job and I am sure it will not cause you any issues.
