Does anyone have experience with a partial left side inner wing replacement? I am trying to figure out the best place to join the inner wing/radiator panel to the existing inner wing.

Re: Left side inner wing
Wrongly or rightly I cut the inner wing just in front of the cross member and stitch welded together. However in hindsight would probably unpick part of the inner wing around the shock mount and bolt it up to make it easier to line up! Then seam weld.

Re: Left side inner wing
Appreciate the response. The panel is only deep enough to get just past the shock mount area but is not big enough to cover the full area of the inner doubler/stiffener so finding a natural spot for the joint doesn't seem so obvious. I think I will try your suggestion and try to go back to the shock mount area.
