prs_xflow Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Hi all, If anyone has cycle wings (preferably red but not essential) and the brackets can they let me know? Or let me know where I can pick a set up from at a reasonable price? Thanks, Paul
rednick Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 have a look on ebay just seen a pair of brackets on there , no bids as yet ,think it has just started
greenandmean Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Remember cycle wing brackets are different on cortina uprights to alloy uprights, make sure you buy the correct ones.
prs_xflow Posted June 18, 2011 Author Posted June 18, 2011 Thanks for the tip-off rednick. I've just asked the seller on ebay what uprights he had.... I know that there are some re-production fiberglass wings on ebay (i.e. not genuine westfield) - are they any good? Thanks again for your replies.
prs_xflow Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 The seller replied with the following... "The uprights are cast Iron and I believe they are either from a Mondeo or Sierra" ?
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Westfield use Sierra uprights in the Sierra SDV version of the kit, I believe the cycle wing brackets for those are different again! Just had a quick look on EBay, could only find one set of brackets on their own, they seem to be off one of the many seven type cars, though he doesn't say which. They don't mount using the most common method I've seen for Sierra uprights, but I can't claim to know the Sierra upright that well, sorry can't really help there. TBH though, my first thought was "they'll look crap", very home made looking, not in a good way And the very flat and angular top piece means the wing itself is going to be that much harder to fit; I guess you'd have to cut holes in the side of the cycle wings and feed the stays in like that.
prs_xflow Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 Thanks Gadgetman. Why are these so hard to come by? Do westfield sell them or would I need to take out a bank loan...
davehop Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I brought a pair from Westfield. I think they were £39 ish plus VAT each
peterg Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 If you have Cortina uprights then Tiger Racing do brackets that use the dust shield mounting holes here
