If you will note, looking at the spear for the left hand front wing/fender, it
is cast so that there is a gap between the bottom edge of the spear and the
body of the car. This feature, along with the holes in the wing/fender is
supposed to help to evacuate hot air from around the carburetors. (-at speed,
I'm assuming). I don't know about you car, but neither the extra two holes or
the gap under the spear appear on my right front fender, where there are no
carbs...

Rich,
The wing spears have 3 locating screws. The original wings on my 60 BT7
have three small holes for the spears, but they also have two larger
holes that appear to serve no purpose. What are the extra holes
designed to do?
Thanks.
