Front Wing and
Baffles
Each front wing has its rear baffle plate welded to
it, thus the dismantling of a wing from the body
is
quite simple. Six wing brackets are secured to the flitch
plate by
five
bolts and one setpin. A set of seven setpins
holds the baffle plate to the scuttle. Before the wing
is
removed from the bodywork, however, the side lamp
cables must be released at their nearest snap connectors.
Flitch Plate
Both flitch plates are secured to their individual
brackets
of
the bonnet surround
by
three hexagon-
headed setpins which screw into caged nuts fixed to the
flitch plate. Four nuts and bolts and one more setpin
hold each flitch plate to the leading edges
of
the scuttle.
The heads of these bolts and setpin are accessible from
beneath the wings.
A set
of
four nuts and bolts secure each flitch plate
to the radiator mounting frame extension brackets.
Bumpers:
Front: The bumper supporting arms are
fixed
to the
chassis dumb irons
by
setpins; two setpins pass through
each arm into the dumb iron.
Rear: A rear bumper
is
best dismantled
by
releasing
the nut and bolt and setpin that secures each bumper
arm to its chassis side member. The bumper can be
removed once the electrical leads
of
the number plate
illumination lamp have been disconnected.
Apron
To support the apron there
is
a bracket extended
from each chassis side member. Two setpins hold the
apron to each bracket. At each end
of
the apron a
nut
and bolt
fixes
the apron to each flitch plate.
Rear Wings
Each rear wing
is
secured to the bodywork
in
eleven
places. Four
of
these are hidden beneath each rear door
