Replacing front wings?

Post by llitvack » Sat Jul 01, 2017 9:15 am

Hi folks.
I was wondering if anyone had ever replaced the front wings on a 1st series 1995 Bongo with new parts?
I was wondering about this as a possibility, in order to get rid of any rust around the front wheels.
If this is impossible, has anyone replaced the front mudguards with new parts (not old ones, from a dismantler)?
Is this even possible?
I'm just looking for ways to get rid of the rust around the front wheels. It's not bad at the moment; but I'm wondering what other folk have done at the front end?
Thanks in advance from Leon

yes i meant new ones, ian has some contacts in asia, allans good, and uses vospers in plymouth i think, they (get ) bongos, unlike some of the mazda dealers. vospers and the warrington mazda dealership can order from japan if they are still available new.

I have just fitted a new wing sourced directly from the Mazda dealer, It cost me £117 plus vat including my discount, which I don't think is bad. They are readily available and you can get the part nos off Lush Projects page to take with you to the dealer. You will need your chassis no. though.

Many thanks to all who responded.
The wings are indeed available; I have ordered them from AVA.
Good wishes from Leon
