MG MG Y Type - What is it with RH rear wings?

My RH YA rear wing has a nasty bend in it so it should be replaced some time.

For the second time now I have met someone that has a complete spare set of Y wings in his attic.
And for the second time now the RH rear wing is from an YB! What would the odds on that be? As they differ from the YA/T they are not suitable for me.....

Anybody need an RH YB wing? I know of two..

Might (just might be) interested .....no harm in sending me details.

There is a pair of Y/YT ones on eBay currently Willem - let me know if you cannot find them.

Hi, those rear wings for a YB aren't still available are they?? I need some - mine are beyond usefulness... J

If you cant fine a decent pair try getting your wings grit/vapour bead blasted to remove all paint and rust and then get the edges (where the bolts go which is usually where they rust) welded. I had this done 30 years ago and they are still ok. While you are at it get the little bracket welded where the stiffener (that bolts to the wing and to one of the bolt holes and stops the wing getting stress fractures through movement)fits.

I would think they are still available, mail me off-line so I can send your details to the seller.

My YA came with YB rear wings fitted and they look ok so if your stuck then its worth considering fitting YB wings.

The problem is that at least one seller doesn't have the LH YB wing....
