I need to replace the passenger side front wing on my 850, is this a welding job or simply bolts, anyone know of a good resource on how to do this? Appreciate and assistance.

Dave

    If by front wing, you mean the front fender, it is bolted on with 10mm bolts for the most part. There is one bolt that requires an extension to your ratchet and that can be seen when you open the passenger door. Rivits hold the mud flap to the fender.

      Thanks Klaus,

      Exactly, I do mean the fender. Thanks for the input, I will have a look, sounds pretty straight forward.

        There is one nut inside the engine compartment. It is a bit hard to find, but that is what is holding the fender when you think you have all the bolts and rivets out.

        The nut is right behind the piece across the front of the car (is it called the header?) that the headlights mount in. It goes on a stub that is welded to a flexible tab on the fender, and protrudes through the fender well. If you look straight down behind the headlight, it will be right near the bottom. Again, this is a nut. I think it is 10mm.

        When I got a salvage fender, they were lazy and just cut the tab off. I fashioned a new attachement, as this point seemed necessary for a solid job.
