2b Plus Cycle Wing Brackets

[Jez Morton]

Can someone clarify how the cycle wing brackets fit, the new ones which come welded to the dummy strut insert.

In the videos they show the bar inboard and state that the widest part of the dummy strut wedge is inboard. The parts I have got have the bar and smallest side of the wedge together, this would put the bar outboard which stops the wheels fitting on.

Am I missing something obvious or are the brackets wrong.

Jez, I might be asking you the obvious question but have you tried them on the opposite sides of the car?

ps, don't know what the new brackets look like so I could be talking rubbish - won't be the first time either.

Sounds like a different setup to the pre-04 2B. Any chances of some photos?

Problem solved, I dug out the RHE supplied alloys and they have a different offset 3/4" more outboard and the brackets are a nice fit.

Its a shame they don't work with the doner wheels (7 spoke RS) they look a very strong bracket. I'm sure lots of owners of older cars could do with some new brackets, I know had a few brackets fall off my last Hood.
