Paul:


The wing you show is definitely the GT one.  


Try aligning the fender to the door, then put pressure on the front of
the fender and leave it for a while.  The fiberglass does move over
time.  

I'm thinking that the front fenders are getting twisted after they are
boxed, but the ones I installed in this way settled back out after a
while.  


Hope this helps.

Kelvin.

Trying to convert my GT to Sebring format but I'm having major problems
from 
the outset.

I've put a few images up here>

http://morganized.com/seb.htm

When I align my sebring wing with the door the front raises 4 inches!
Too 
much to fettle out.
When I align the new wing with the bonnet theres a 3 inch gap at the
door!
Is there 2 different types of sebring front wing? One got GT & another
for 
raodster?
PSFor any Sebringers out there I found an intersting link on rear wing
mods 
to the MGB here>

As the rear wing panels available are thougt to be too outlandish by
some 
ppl.
Hope you can help.
