Easy job, either create your own brackets out of some flat bar if your welding is not that good you buy the parts from normal kitcar companies. Like these http://www.kitcardirect.co.uk/mk-indy-front-wing-stays-for-ford-cortina-upright.html

Unlike some orther robin hoods the exmo has no where to mount bought arch stays they have to be modifyed and mounted to the suspension upright i am going to do same at some point its easier to make them from scratch

Search on here for exmo arch show better

Normally brackets directly of the body, probably rusted and you will have holes left in the body. A fair few on the forum have done this hopefully you will some pictures soon.

I have built my Exmo with cycle wings. I followed the destructions on the build video. They do not turn with the wheels because they mount to the suspension outrigger at the top and to a bar from the engine bay at the bottom. I have converted the original VHS build tapes to a series of mpgs, I could put these on my BT Cloud for you if you want, the cycle wing construction is on these somewhere. I have seen quite a few EXMOs with cycle wings that turn with the wheels, however you have to be prepared to cut off the ends of the outriggers (and presumably do a bit of welding to strengthen the ends). This needed because otherwise the top of the cycle wing will bash against the end of the outrigger when the spring is compressed by a bump.

I have uploaded some snaps and vids to BT Cloud, to help.

The snaps show the cycle wings, and steering wheel mounts, taken when I was stripping down for a rebuild.

The vids are extracts from the tapes that were supplied with the kit, for steering and cycle wings.

Hope this helps.
