I believe fibreglass ones are available, steel ones haven't been available for many years.

New fibreglass wings are available from Honeybourne mouldings, I got a set around Christmas time. 1975 you'll be looking for "flat top" wings.

Don't throw your wings away if they are any way half fixable, the arch profile is the same for the front and rear.

Ignore the fact that this is cut back for a droopsnoot front, this is the panel that joins the front end of the front wing to the slam panel. It's like this, anyway, I had to make this because the one on the aftermarket wing I'm having to fit was way out of shape.

I probably could. I'm only talking about the filler panel, the bit in silver with the clamp on it shown in the photo. I'll have a look - is that one of the places yours are bad?
