As it was quite warm and dry this afternoon, I took the
opportunity to fit the anti chip butyl tiles to part of the under surfaces of the
Wings. I had weighed the four wings before I started
and they together did not weigh 1 kg!!
The 12 tiles I used were just under 1 kg !!
So total weight of 4 wings is just under 2kg.
Not sure what 4 steel wings would weigh?
To ensure maximum adhesion I used a hair dryer
to warm both the alloy wing and the sound deadening
Tiles. The tiles were easy to cut and fit and stuck down extremely
well.
Next stage with the wings is to do a final Scotchbriting session
, wash down and then spray with Nyalic.
The wings have already been try fitted and once lacquered
they will simply bolt on, with some wing piping on the rears.
Will need a warmer day to pull the car outside the garage
and do the final Scotchbriting and lacquering on the main bodywork
and the domed tail.
Still lots of other bits to do though.
