[Healeys] Bodywork question

[Bob Spidell]

Thanks, David. Just the tip I was looking for (hopefully the flange/bracket is reusable).

Bob, on the original fender you will need to open up the crimped edge and remove the piece that attaches the fender to the hinge pillar. Then you can insert into the new section and pinch in place. 


The other option is I have the fender attachment plate that pinches in the fender and attaches to the hinge pillar for the 6 cylinder cars and could be modified for the 4 cylinder cars.

The left front wing of our BN2 is pretty bunged-up. I got a repair panel from Kilmartin, which is overall pretty high quality. Problem is, the original has a (relatively) heavy flange about an inch in from the rear of the wing--for fitting to the front shut pillar--and the repair panel only has a 90deg bend at the very rear. Anyone fitted up these repair panels? All help, advice, sympathy, etc. accepted. 


TIA, 
Bob
