Brucey Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Just testing the water. I'm after the above to fit my 1993 Dedion car to save me shimming my clamshell rack. It's a matter of how much is it worth to save the hassle! Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted February 6, 2009 Leadership Team Share Posted February 6, 2009 I always thought the racks were the same but QRs could not be used with clams Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Stu, The new cycle wings hit the body on full lock, so I guess newer racks have less travel. No one upgraded a cycle wing 7 to a quicker rack? Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucey Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Simon, It's sold and it was a wide track (I posted a reply on that ad) Thanks for the thought anyway I guess its off with the gators to see how to shim the existing rack.

LesG Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Bruce, if you slide the gaitors back, then turn the wheels lock to lock, you can see where you'll need to place stops to limit the travel. I'm about to do the same mod on my own car, and have measured a 23mm x 10mm thick for the passenger side, and a 32mm x 15mm thick for the driver's side. I was just going to mark then weld into position for long-term security. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Les, Thanks for the information I've now got the wings fitted. I'm going to test drive it to see if I actually like them and then tackle the steering stops and bodywork. I just hope it's all worth it! Bruce.
