Made a quick and dirty group picture that includes the OE wing buttons on Masami's car and the ZD-107 ones that are on fleebay right now at that nice and cheap price. They indeed look a bit different in terms of diameter. My guess is that Masami received some production samples at that time (remember it's two years before the '93 WCS was out) which were slightly different that the ones later on distributed by Yokomo for the "masses".

These look easy to fab on a lathe. Given all of the other great custom fab work, this should be a snap:)

But is the time spent on the lathe worth the return. Wheel adapters could be made as well, but again. Is the time spent worth it :?:

exactly. the wing wire could also be easily cut and bent with some stock from k&s wire. there you have another kit to sell easily.

Amazing the two wing kits are already gone :shock: At those prices, I'm sure machining them is cost effective...

The full W.C.S set was pulled by the seller. Perhaps he got second thoughts and wanted to build another WCS 8) :D
