"I have heard that "wrong" wing piping is again being distributed in Europe. I attach a picture of the correct stuff (left) compared to the other stuff (right)".

The correct piping will be silver-gray in color, thick enough to be fairly stiff, and tall enough to cover most of the width of the fender bolt flanges. When a bolt is tightened the flange come to bear against the flat of the piping holding the piping and teh fender securely in place.

The incorrect piping is darker in color, somewhat thinner and flexible, and shorter in height. When the bolt is tightened there is insufficient bearing surface for the flange, so the fender flange is distorted and the piping is squeezed upward out of the joint making an irregular piping line with raised humps over the bolts.

Correct piping is currently being sold by BoB West in the UK and others who buy from him. Correct piping is also available from Moss Motors Ltd in USA (not sure about Moss Europe). Additional reports of either good or bad sources are welcome.
