had to change my front brake pipe set up, because I initially had it fixed on a piece of ally riveted to one of the front wishbone supports.....now I have the bulkhead joint into the side panel

Having never liked the front cycle wing stays I am going to set about a nice sturdy pair of my own design and as usual it will be bits of scrap I have lying around.....this time it will come from a scrapped glass top coffee table that got dismantled after the glass broke and as usual I kept it thinking that will come in handy sometime well now is the time.

Point of interest,5mm flat was substituted for 3mm on the original from the book as it flexes like a bugga when you are driving.
Nothing to a man of your calibra Kev.

I am going to remake mine at some time in the near future. They are just a blur at speed because they flap about so much. Anyone about to make their wing stays needs to be aware that the design really needs beefing up.3mm for the bits that the wing fixes to is just not enough.

Well those bits I am using are 6mm thick so they should not flex at all if very little....started by cutting them roughly to the dimensions I need and will be tacking them up in situ so that all I will need to do is put a generous layer of sikaflex on top and then put cycle wing on, set it up exact and leave to set, then I will be using several layers of fibreglass to make sure they don't come off
here is a start
