Wing mounting location
 
I bought one of Aerofiber's Feed replica CF wings from another forum member and should be getting it in a week or so. It is going on my '94 Touring. The Aerofiber wing is designed to use the outer four mounting holes of the stock wings 8 holes (does that make sense?). Anyway, since my FD doesn't have a wing it also doesn't have any existing holes and I'll have to drill it. Can anyone tell me what the stock location of those holes should be?

I hate to drill holes in the hatch and so I want to keep my options open for the future of this car. Because of that, I want to be sure that I put these four holes in the stock location in case I ever want to put a stock wing on in the future (such as moving the Aerofiber to another FD and putting a stock wing on this one).

Anyone have a template for the stock holes or feel like making one? Maybe just measuring the distance from the hole straight back to the hatch edge and out to the hatch edge on the side would be good enough?

TIA.

you're better off meeting up with someone close and eyeballing it yourself

IMO, something like that is worth the $200 or so to let a body shop do the install. A 'good' shop will do all the proper measurements to make sure the wing is properly centered.

If I knew someone close I would. There is another black FD in my small community that has an OEM spoiler. My son claims to see him all the time when he drives the rex, I rarely see him. Maybe I can flag him down with a ruler some day. :)

I would if thought something would actually hold.

I'm was going to have a shop do it. I just wanted to be sure to know exactly where it should go so I can be sure the shop puts it in the right spot.

But no one has the hole locations?

Thanks. That is perfect.

Now I feel rather chagrined that I couldn't find that myself.
