Shug Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 You might need to become aquainted with a hammer and dolly and have a bash (no pun intended! ) at making one. I still have that drivers wing available if you change your mind. I have next week off to work on my manta so can see if I can can do something with it first if you are interested.

Shug Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Just had a look at rough price for a courier and its coming in at near 40 quid! Not got the wing nearby to measure so guessed size of package. (150*30*60 cm) Unless you know anyone that travels between scotland and wales looks like its no use Hmm just checked parcel force and they reckon £16.79 but only if the package is 1.5m long max, and length and girth combined is 3meters or less. Yet another edit. Sorry my size guesstimation is prob way out. I might be able to get it within parcel force requirements in which case, I was after 30 quid for the wing so it'd be (assuming the package is acceptable to parcel force) £46.79 But couldn't tell you until the weekend for sure.

rutts Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 if you have a local cycle shop get a box off them that bikes come in they are perfect for wings and stuff like that. £15 with parcels to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 If it's any help, i live in North Wales and we are up to inverness next week for the week, coming home Friday (royal wedding day). I can collect the wing and bring it as far as North Wales for you (about 10 mile from wrexham), a bit closer for you but then youll have to arrange something from here unless any one else can step in and go any further, going sunday morning so let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1900SR Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Dr Manta lists the front valance, although it's not cheap. He also does repair sections http://s75550052.einsundeinsshop.de/sess/utn;jsessionid=154dbaa5963ee7f/shopdata/index.shopscript Nitram, no the Ascona wings and front panels are different.
