Gents,
What was the difference between 58 & 59 rear fins etc?

The rear fins for the first two styles of FC paintwork are interchangeable, but the rear fins for the 3rd model are unique by having a groove cut into them to locate the stainless steel extension.
You can make a 3rd style fin out of an earlier fin by filing in the grooves.
However using a 3rd style fin on an earlier style car leaves the end of the fin not touching the body and it looks odd.

Hi Vern,
Rechromeable would be fine.
Collects what are the condition of them?
Cheers
Are the extensions stainless or Diecast?
Thanks

Thanks for the explanation chaps.

Interchangeable side to side I'm pretty sure Graham.

Graham. The correct '59 Fins will have small slots on the underside to house the leading edge of the extensions. Otherwise expand the extension to slide over the fin. I secured the extensions using brass bolts & nuts. I filed the head to slide along the extensions. Cut off the threaded side of the guard inside the boot to suit & then seal with body putty, [ I used ormanoid putty]. Kevin.

Having just had a "woman's look ", @ the previous posts, I see where Ken has described what I was getting at. To correct an error in my previous post..... " cut off the bolt, inside the boot to suit".

The fins and the extensions are both right and left handed.
You have to be careful to get a LH and a RH fin and a LH and RH extension.

Thanks all for your help everyone.
Not ever owning a car with them on all the info has been so helpful.
Cheers
PS Looks like Neil can help me out with the extensions.
Thanks Graham
