New(ish) Ulster steel "touring" wings - austin - 03-07-2023
I have had a set of steel Ulster "touring" wings for about 13 years sitting in the loft of our garage.
I'm trying to work out what body they were made for. I'm talking short wheelbase Ulsters here to be clear.
They nearly fit our replica body (from Stuart Rolt in the mid '70s), but not quite right, especially at the rear.
Someone with a Rod Yates short wheelbase body, has had a look and thinks they won't fit due to the step in the front wing & curvature of the running boards.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know, (they are also for sale in the sales & wants.)
Hit the limit for photos in the initial post, next two show the front wing in place on our car. (Excuse the 17" wheel, running out of 18" & 19" ones!)

Chris Gould's GF bodies had glass fibre wings sets available too, as I recall; so I doubt these were made for one of them.
Compound Curvatures?
