Inner Wing Stiffening
11 Attachment(s)
Just did the inner wing plate stiffening due to their being a small crack in the bottom lower corner. I know Volvo issued instructions on how to do this but I just made the plate to how I thought it would best fit and added the pressings to match the other pressings in the wing. Anyway the pics show the way I did it.

Very nice job, i didn't even know there was a potential problem there, will have to check mine out now :)

Is this an issue on the 1800 as well?

Yours looks good Dave. Catch you tomorrow.

Volvo posted this mod in 1968, pretty late in the life of the Amazon. Probably thought a good idea after finding cracks on rally cars but the common rust in the chassis leg just behind that as it bends under the floor can make it a weak area. Rougher Swedish B roads more of a problem than ours.
There was an Estate on eBay a while back that had broken in half at this point due to rust. Not a pretty sight! |
For rally cars or for fast road cars it is also best to box in that area on the inside. You box in the area over the chassis
