How much rust / mud can fall out of the front wings?
|
IMG_1214
Big grommet in the passenger footwell.
|
IMG_1215
This is the 'washer' that goes in the passenger foot well for the bolt holding the wing on.
|
|
IMG_1216
There are 4 bolts virtical here holding the wing on. The are also 2 larger bolts at the top. The restoration manual says there are 3, only 2 though.
|
IMG_1217
The bonnet release cable is bolted on to the wing bolts. in 3 places. this is the front one with the radiator support bracket too.
|
IMG_1218
More bonnet release cable clips
|
|
IMG_1219
The bonnet release cable is routed down the side of the wing, and through the bulkhead. The cable had to be removed from the sheath to remove the whole thing, as the 'B' handle is permenantly attached to the cable.
|
IMG_1220
These sqare washers were for the two wing bolts closest to the windscreen - the others just had regular round washers.
|
IMG_1221
This bracket seems to provide extra support for the bonnet when it's closed. It was attached with a couple of screws with nuts on the other side. They had to be angle-ground off.

|
IMG_1226
Ta da! - much better - this was also my first effort at removing spot welds (holding the trumpet section on at the top of the inner wing. Now we can really see how many holes there are to patch up later
|
IMG_1227
Now we've got the car on axle stands we can take the front wheels off. Yes I really did use that many bits of wood with the jack to lift it high enough.
