    Default Super pacer wings

    Been reworking a set of super pacer wings for a friend... dakota ribs, and Stuart tips. I had to de-frag the garbage install job on the Stuart's as we're covering it with oratex, so the old beat it into submission with the ball peen would have been very ugly. Had to prime with epoxy for oratex, so that's why.

    looks like you got it worked into place. That .020" aluminum is 3003 and is pretty soft and easy to shape. Doesn't look like the original installer had a body hammer.

    It needed a tuck job... I didn't have the time so I put 2 pie cuts in and backed it with a stretched back plate and used super fill as per oratex install manual.

    Do most get that Stuart tip properly installed? Without the ugly?

    Thank you. Looks like the center tab gets formed around the spacer?
