wing mounted areial

[chrisd1986]

do i have to take the wing off to replace it or can you do it on the car?

[conza123]

There is a acess hole on inner wing thats held in with 2 bolts . Dobt know how much acess it will give ya

[Royston]

If it has the access hole it is also a support to the aerial base if I remeber correctly, assuming original one fitted.

You'll still need to take the wing off though!

[chrisd1986]

bugger didnt want to do that. anyone fancy doing it at the national meet for a couple of beers lol

why do you not want to take the wing off?

[conza123]

its piss easy to do,
take bumper off then you have the the bolts in engine bay, 2 bolts that hold wing to lower front panel, and 2 bolts behind the the kick panel inside car

So you don't want to do a job properly because you will end up doing the job properly?

[chrisd1986]

yes, and then because ive done under the wing i will start on the rest of the underside and will then be in a rush to get it all done for the national weekend

[meritlover]

oh well, just do what everyone did and ram a wire coat hanger in it.

[chrisd1986]

ive thought about it but ive got a new one and its bugging my listening to snap crackle and pop

[meritlover]

yes, but you dont want to take the wing off to replace it.... We're going round in circles here.

[chrisd1986]

i just cut the wires and soldered the new one onto the old wires :)

[chrisd1986]

[EwanG]

I replaced one on my first nova many years ago. I didnt take the wing off. Just reach up the inside of the wing.

[chrisd1986]
