Scoured for a thread on several forums but cant fine one.
I never trust my truck with mechanics - I do everything myself if I can. That being said, sometimes I just cannot make time to do certain tasks.
I had a mechanic work on the 90 a couple years ago and despite working on Defenders, and my constant reminder to keep the F away from the wing tops - they were clearly leaned on, and used as a tool bench!
So I've got a bit of a dip in the wings now - barely noticeable but super frustrating. I can remember looking at the front-end while driving and admiring how the wing-tops had remained flat for 30+ years.
Anyway, aside from checker plating them, does anyone have any solutions? I was thinking about cutting particle board to the shape of the flat surface x2 and clamping together. I know aluminum stretches as it bends, unlike steel. But Damn there must be a way to rectify this.
Cheers
