HC flat top wing c---up

Postby noz » Wed Oct 10, 2012 10:41 pm

Hi
Just brought a high top wing by mistake and was wondering if anyone has converted a high top to flat top by cutting out the high section and welding in a flat top section? My old flattop is good on top but gone completely at the sill area.
Anyone want to swap flattop for hightop wing (new but temp fit with couple spot welds and underseal with black por15)

If you don't find a swap, I would think you'd be much better off transplating the sill area from the good wing to the bad rather than trying to swap the flat top section. Apart from anything else, the sill area is much less visible so a lot more forgiving for any minor errors.

Wish i could just transfer the sill section but its also got a big hole near the indicator. And under the bonnet edge where its welded to the inner wing is not so good either. Just not worth it.
