G'Day Brad - Glad to see you're still progressing.Brad1380 wrote: Brackets are no problem just need to know what they look like.
These are very quick and dirty, per usual, and from my Pig, not from my good car so can't speak for total legitimacy, but perhaps handy as a rough guide. Let me know if you need anything further and I'll see if I can help.
Cheers, Tom
Thanks Martin
I wasn't expecting the other wing section to fit easily & i wasn't disappointed, in fact it took a lot longer as the fit was worse than the other side & the A-post had come loose so quite a bit of remedial work before i could get onto the wing.
Last panel is the valance & i know that doesn't fit so going to save that for next time on leave.

Brad - second Martin's comments. Work is as ever impressive to follow and the false floor brackets look first class, and probably the easiest piece of sheet metal work you've done given all of your other repairs undertaken!Brad1380 wrote: Last panel is the valance & i know that doesn't fit so going to save that for next time on leave.
Great to see the rotisserie is multi tasking. That's a piece that's serving you well by the looks of things. Great stuff with the metal fab - keep posting as it always makes for an educational read. Well appreciated.
Cheers, Tom

Hi Brad - you may already have this but there's a fastener list that's been around for quite some time that was put together by Kirt Jensen and is listed on the following site:Brad1380 wrote: One thing i found weird is the latches have countersunk screw holes, but pan heads were fitted not sure if that was a PO or Jensen running out of screws.

Again, I'm far from expert so can't vouch for completeness, series application or accuracy, but it's probably a good starting point and a handy reference all the same. By my reading it looks as though they would have been pan head.
In the mean time, I'll scrounge through my parts bins of the resto - all labelled thankfully - and see if I can find mine for cross reference.
Cheers, Tom
Had to reinstate the radiator panel flanged sides as they were rotten, also cut off the bottom section & replaced with a bar as thats supposed to be better for air flow.
Had a lot of fettling to get the front valance right, internally & to get the wings to line up.
Got there in the end, wing & valance are not too bad & the wheel arch curve looks ok too.
Still a fair bit of tidying up & small welding jobs, but that the last major panel at last.
