Would anyone have a picture showing the position of the foam front wing fillets? They were missing on my wings and I can't see anything in the WSM.

Iv'e just been looking at the photos of my Rover when it went through it's restoration and as I recall the fillets fit in place above the splash seals |

That's very helpful. Mine didn't have the fillets either and it was only when I was on Wadhams site looking for parts I realised I needed them and lots of other bits too. When will yours be back on the road? |

Here is a picture. This foam has been in place since 28th February 1971  Foam retains water so can cause corrosion, make sure that the area is well painted !  |

All our P5s and P5Bs had them but no corrosion as they are closed cell foam. I cannot see any point in having them however in the 1st place.

They look a bit different to that when they come fresh from Wadhams Whoops! I completely misunderstood the question. (Apologies, Tim. I couldn't resist the temptation. Time to delete my contribution and return to the serious topic.) |
