Could anyone possibly measure between the points shown on the photo below to assist me with repairing my inner wing? Rep will be given!

Ideally I need the distance between each point (marked by a cross and each cross in numbered);

Between 1 and 2 = .... between 2 and 3 = .... etc

Thankyou in advance!!!

All spot on... except between 1 and 2 which is 60mm - that explains my problem (I think!)

what's the problem?

I got the shell after it had been unfortunate and hit a tractor wheel at low speed, which damaged the slam panel and headlight mounting area - plus the inner wing a little. I straightened out the inner wing and replaced the slam panel and headlight mounting but it doesnt line up well with the wing at all.

Basically the front panel is sitting too low to meet the two front bolts for the wing, but I have not been able to find what is causing the problem.

I think the collision has pushed down the front chassis leg and inner wing, which has had the effect of closing up the gap between 1 and 2 by 5mm

I think you'd be better offer fitting a whole new leg tbh mate, thats going to be less hassle in the long run I reckon

Yes I think so Edd. I have one on offer from a member on here, so I will likely go with it.
