Front wing gaps...

Post by sogatha »

Fitting a new wing to the Mini - using a Heritage panel - but I'm struggling to get a reasonable gap between the scuttle and the leading top edge of the wing.
I know there is meant to be a definite line there but how wide is too wide? Any thoughts please?

I always have to re-shape the back edge of the LH wing to fit round the scuttle.

I can only assume that the tooling Heritage use is totally worn out after 65 years.

Aim for a 3/16 gap or less.
