Wanted: 1935 Wing Stays

I am looking for a pair of 1934/35 wing stays that support the front wings, along with the central bar which attaches in between the wings.

After my plea for wings on the forum of which the club came up trumps, I am looking to put the Weasel back together with the right set of wings. I do have the ones on my 34 saloon to copy, but if any Jowetteer has any gathering dust in their garage all the better.

Hi Alan,
Have you had any luck on the wing stays and cross pieces that you're needing?
Tony.

Hello again Alan, and thanks for the PM
I'm glad that you sourced the wing stays.
I have a couple of cross-pieces (see photos below) that differ only slightly from each other in one respect.
The vital measurements of both are the same.
Let me know which one suits the Weasel.
It will come down to the bonnet fittings.
Tony.

Hi Tony,
Its the one the left with the additional Staple end.
Which as you can see is different from the earlier one. When I went down to look at Kens Weasel, I was surprised they were different.
Yorkshire thrift, lets just bolt that on here.

O.K. Alan.
I'll parcel up the one on the left with the additional brackets and send it down.
I'll bet you've never had such a rusty, unique and odd-looking present for Christmas ever before.
Happy Christmas to you both.
Tony.
