Timothy Keith-Lucas Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Is the a source for wings to fit my 1962 S2? It's going to be a daunting task to get mine smooth enough to satisfy my restoration painter, and before I start sanding, I'd like to see if they can be replaced. Thanks.

MV8 Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 New glass wings would also require sanding if they will be painted. I expect a Caterham dealer could import wings for this. Clean well with acetone before wet foam block sanding with 220. Cracks should be ground out (dremel works well) then filled with catalyzed gel coat. Rattle can sandable high build primer, wet sand 400, reprime, light mist/fog contrasting primer evenly from about two feet away, wet sand off all the contrasting primer. Your painter should be satisfied with that. An oscillating 5 inch sander with velcro discs will save a lot of elbow grease and cost about $50 combined.

MV8 Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Looks like about $1000 for front wings to your door, but colored gel coat with no need to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamScotticus Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Fill out an inquiry on the item product page and in comments tell him EXACTLY what you have, serial number, etc. Chris knows these 7s very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Keith-Lucas Posted November 19 Author Share Posted November 19 There is a source! Wow. My suspicion is that the original owner took some dings on the race track and patched it up. Replacement looks like a good deal. Thanks a bunch, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
