Title: Wing to valance connection? Post by: Nigel on June 29, 2024, 10:55:47 AM There is a layer of what appears to be aluminium foil about 30mm wide, the width of the join, between the wing and front panel. What function does this play? Nigel Title: Re: Wing to valance connection? Post by: squiglyzigly on June 29, 2024, 12:02:15 PM Happy to be corrected but I’ve always suspected it maybe zinc to help reduce corrosion. Think I’ve also seen it under the bonnet and door hinges on some cars.
I came up with this belief as I couldn’t come up with a better theory. Can’t imagine it would be aluminium as that would surely promote corrosion? Cheers Ian Title: Re: Wing to valance connection? Post by: Nigel on June 29, 2024, 12:54:17 PM I think you're correct Ian.
It is more likely Zinc. I don't think I'll be trying to replicate. Cheers Nigel |
