After shaping the wing stays I drill 2 holes equidistant in from the outer edges of the tyres, cut and shaped 2 strips of 25x3mm for each stay , drilled for 1 stud in each which was welded in , bolted them in place and used Sikaflex to attach the wings. They have been in place for 4 years with no problems even though the N/S stay has broken 3 times.

I use rivets, easy to remove if needs be then. will pop a bit of black paint on them when I get a minute.
