cycle wing brackets

[patmy]

Does anyone know where to get hold of decent cycle wing brackets to fit cortina uprights? ta patmy

I made my own, two pieces of flat bar bent to suit, a cross brace welded across the two with a large whole in that the upper ball joint passe's through, not broke in 5 years, previous ones did without the brace.

I haven't spoke to many 7 type owners who haven't lost a cycle wing at some time or other.

Depends what there for. Tried Tiger ones which fit the uprights well but take some adjusting to fit the wheel. Used factory Westfield on mine in the end but had to grind off a few mm on the upright top lower face.(clamshell to cycle wing conversion) Easier to fit round the wheel though.

Contact the factory £79 + p&p. If you have swept wings at the moment you will need to grind off a few mm on the upright top mount to accomodate the mounting bracket, not to hard but you will have to remove the upright and spend a couple of hours with the grinder. Ask the factory for advice on this and get them to send a spec sheet with instructions. Local engineering firms can do the work if your not sure.
