How much work is involved in changing a 7 to have cycle wings instead of the clamshell ones. I'm guessing you have a few rivet holes down the side that would need sorting and some wing brackets to fit, anything else??

Wider front suspension.

The arc described by the front wheels as thbey turn from lock top lock means that the cycle mudguards will impact against the bodywork at full lock.

And I've yet to see a conversion where you couldn't tell. Unless it had new side skins.

Bugger that fo a game of soldiers then. Was hoping it would be an easy task to widen the selection of cars availiable to me. I'm looking for a HPC you see and most so far seem to be not cycle wings. Not to worry. Im a patient man :-)
