MG MG Y Type - need a little help , please

Hello need some help
forgotten to take the distance
i need the distance between the car and the edge
or the yello line
i have to fix the fender to the red metal sheet as you see in the second picture
please in mm

FT Franz

Hi. I think I for one need a bit more information to help you. In particular I am puzzled by what you mean by "the car and the yellow line". I assume you are interested in how much the wing projects from the body. I expect it would have been clearer if the second picture had come through.

i hope i can make the other one in the evening next week, less time but this part is not too bad




FT Franz

it looks good to me. I have rule which says that once you have got it mechanically correct you then make it look right. If it looks right then it is right.

You could put the wheel and tyre on that may help you eye it up . John B

not possible, chassis and body not together
but
the fender was really rusty, but i could see the edge, so it should be ok,
if not i have to take the hammer again
today i prepared the other side,
there i will take a template from this side
so both side are identical
