Five ribs ?

Post by Dakota »

Hi All
I am after some five rib front inner wing closing panels for a '57 A , Restoration design list them but my supplier here , Mr Bray , does not stock them and while I'm at it does anyone do a repair section to repair the area around the torsion housing up to the rear bump stop for a 356, thanks Bill.
I am a person of simple pleasures so if you don't have any simple pleasures to offer me, beer, pizza or Porsche bits etc kindly leave me be, XX.

Bill,
I noticed some rear repair sections on R.Bray's site which may be what you need. They are shown at the bottom of the new parts listing.

Forgot to add that I think Julian at KK has the correct 5 rib closing panels.

I wouldn't wait too long before you go to KK. I notice on the Stoddard site the early "A" 5 rib panels are now no longer available.

I see KK are the agents for Simonsen in Denmark. If you look on www.simonsen-356.dk site you will see a great photolayout in one shot of all the steel structural items they make. If you click the union jack you will get a description of items.

I have seen torsion area cappings before just not sure where.

It would seem Simonsen produce all the press tooling for these panels and are always looking to make more new additions. I reckon KK will be able to advise you. The products look good.
