Borrow a spot welder would be my advice, super neat job, and a fraction of the time it will take you any other method.

As your only fitting half wings, it should be easy to just put some nice slugs on the inside.

Aaaarrrrggghhh - I've just taken two A panels off and one was fitted this way by someone who hadn't used a spot welder.... What a mess - it took over an hour with an angle grinder and die grinder to avoid wrecking the A pillar itself. The other side (original factory three spot welds) took about 5 minutes. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

If youre fitting a flip front i suggest fiiting a brace bar from the inner wing to a panel. I did it this time around and its excellent! A gorrila could swing off em! 1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

That's a bit worrying. I never welded my A panel ends on my A panels. Will that be an issue??

Rob.
Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.
