wing mounts

[alex97]

Hello
I've been wonndering if there is somthing that would let me use a screw to hold my wing in place on my b44.1 as I keep losing the R clips and I perfure using screws.

Thanks

...I think I already heard this song.. :lol:
I perfectly agree with you, but I don't see a solution.
The B44 family wing mount is not an example of clever design..

Just cut them to the right length and you wont lose anymore ;)

Get JConcepts ally wing mount, saw off the mounting lug, drill and tap a vertical hole through. Job done but you might need a new wing with a smaller hole and use a large washer to spread the load, I use an old rear wheel pin taper washer so it looks a bit blingy.

Could try with the plastic wing mount but there is not much meat there for the screw thread to stay functional.

Ill get your favorites Tool out and see what I can do :thumbsup:.

Done, I just cut the mount bits off, sanded it down and used a 2.8mm drill bit. As it was a little bit smaller that the screw when I went to put it in it threaded it self for me, on the bottom I used a nut to make sure that the screws dont move. For the bit that keepes the wing down I used some 1/8 wing mounts and they seem to do the job very well.
