If you give me a minute I'll sift through the receipts I have because I'm sure my cycle wings and brackets weren't that much.

I paid MORE for mine, they WERE cheaper but I paid £129 for mine including brackets.

For fitting have a look www.grahamjyoung.co.uk/Changes.htm and the entry for the 30/06/03.

Do they have to be Westfield items?

I know Robin Hood have a parts catalogue for locost parts (inc bodywork) and I believe Luego do too.

I bought mine from Tiger Racing FWIW.

Still have the clamshell's if anyone's after some, please, taking up valuable space in the garage.

I got some replacement cycle wings from Robin Hood a few years back. They had a wider size selection than Westfield & quality was better. They fittted onto the Westfield brackets.

thanks for the replies guys...I guess I'll be looking at even more expense because I don't even have the brackets. bugler. I think a visit to the robin hood site is in order.

and graham, you car looks so much better without the clam shells - I hope to get the same improvement with mine

Thanks Tom, it's amazing the difference my mods have done, makes the car look so much younger (it is a 1989 car ).

Just to remind you my £129 was including brackets for Cortina uprights.

Robin Hood might have them cheaper though, have a look around but Westfield are pricey (as you've found).
