I've broken one of the 8mm bolts that connect the wing to the upright as it was stuck solid, so I need to get a new one and seem to remember a thread on this a couple of years back. Does anyone know the real name for them or where to get some from as I'd like to replace all four if possible?

I used rod end bearings but you need to grind a bit off the body to clear the wing.

Andy if your willing to part with one that would be great, you'll have to let me know how much you want for it etc.

Rob that's a good idea and something I'll definitely look into if I can't find a spare, thanks for the tip.

you know I cant remember... I have all new uprights now so I have even more spares now, even my taller black uprights are surplus.

Andy that's very kind of you thanks, it's much appreciated. I'll pm you when I get home as it doesn't seem to work on an iphone.

they were the group buy ones from a couple of years ago... daddysumo, funkybmw adrian etc all run the same ones... 35mm i think?

I run a different wing now so they don't fit... means I now also have 2 sets of standard ones surplus as well.... recon I will soon have a complete spare car in the garage smile
