fitting mk1 escort wings

[sidpf1972]

this sounds like a daft question but do you have to take doors off to change the wings? any top tips would be nice thanks

[over_head_cam]

Yep, doors off. While you're fitting the wilgs you'll have the doors on amd off a couple of times so temporarily fit them on bolts rather than pins.

Make sure the bonnet is on straight!

[sidpf1972]

do you mean put thin bolts in where the pin comes out of?

[over_head_cam]

Yep, thats it. Make sure they're a snug fit so there's not much movement. Bolts that are 'shouldered' work quite well as they are slightly thicker at the head end
