Hi

These were fixed with a split rivet brp1108 (Bifrucated Rivet) and rivet washer adj7112 into an approx 1/8" hole in the bottom flange of the wing.

From memory the later hole is approx midway along the flange but someone else will know for sure....the earlier hole is right at the front The second buffer was added at chassis No.934674 approx

The holes are still in the wings - at least if you purchase UK made Heritage wings. The rubber buffers are still available too.

Hi thanks for your replies I have the rubber buffers and there is indeed one hole towards the back of the front wing about 4mm diameter
