Can anyone enlighten me with regards the rear wing supports/pylons. I've got hold of a second hand wing that has never been fitted (from the classifieds), it's an older one from a few years back and not from the current supplier that the factory uses.
I've put the small rose joints in the wing, but when I offer up the pylons the holes in the pylons are 3mm out compared to the rose joints and there's just no way of making them fit. Has anyone else had this issue or got any thoughts as to why the holes don't line up?

Michael, thanks for clearing that up for me, i have new straight rose joints as there were none with the wing, I wondered if they should be bent then thought surely not!
Anyway, It's not a huge issue as I've made a set of solid carbon pylons which I can drill to fit straight rose joints, but i was hoping to make the carbon and alloy interchangeable... Maybe I'll just buy a set of "bent" rose joints especially for the alloy pylons wink
