front wing rebuild

[Boswalt]

I'm rebuilding my front wings as they're exmod and FULL of bondo that has disintegrated. I have fronts, side and wingtops but I cannot find the part number for the interior panel (see red circle) or the brace behind it. Are these salvageable or do people make new ones? They appear to be spot welded in place so fixing them to the new wing parts might be a pain.

Not a separate part, comes with the wing assemblies

Well if you don't buy the whole thing at once how do you get one? Cause I bought my pieces separate.

It comes with the wing in the photo you posted, but Im not sure if anyone is currently making them separately.

Looks like it's easy enough to fabricate. For the area that's shaped, cut the profile from two blocks of 3/4 plywood. Clamp these on both sides of the sheet metal and hammer the shape out. A little dolly work to planish, and there you are. Use the opposite side (existing) for hole template.
The other way is to use a press if you have one. That involves making a male and female plug out of wood. Then you put the panel between them and put it in the press and smush the sandwich down. This works really well for forming small areas like that on the wing panel.
You can spot weld with a TIG torch, or puddle weld with gas or MIG. You can probably get away with just using panel bonding adhesive, which will be stronger than welding.

I have some really crappy wings that I'm about to harvest that piece from. I looked extensively, and as stated above, you cant simply buy that separately. It is possible to make, but you need some equipment to make a few bends/offsets. Bearmach and I think SP have full wings, but still not that piece alone.

Why not ask SP4x4 if they’ll sell a pair?
