HOW TO: Evo Wing deconstruction and fixing Rusty bracket
Thanks! It actually turned out awesome. There was one spot where i put a bit too much glue so it bled through over night but its not really noticeable unless your looking right at the spot. So I just ignored it. I put it together, riveted the bottom back together then clamped the tops up and let it dry over night.
Anyway I know its not an Evo but here is a pic of the finished product.
And here are some pics of the bracket I made. I made it fairly thick I think and just tapped and threaded the bracket itself then used locktite when bolting it down.

Looks great man!
I put way too much glue on the first side of mine, it ended up everywhere...including my hands and knees.
The second side turned out better.
After it dried i filed some of the excess off. It looks good from a distance, if you didnt know about it you probably wouldnt see it.
I never did post a picture of mine, so here it is after! (Drilling through the carbon fiber trunk was a bit scary... I didn't want to F it up!)

Amazing kit! I bought a set, not that long ago and was able to install it back a few weekends. What a difference. Kudos to you for offering such a kit. There was even a mix up on the parts and he made it right. Signs of a great person to work with. TY SIR!
Thanks again for making this! Looking forward to getting my brackets and fixing this once and for all!
My trunk is also rusted under the bracket. Is any one using the wing gaskets when they put everything back together? Or is it not necessary?

Thank you for this great threat! Took my spoiler apart and the braket was completly rustet away. Also my cf looks horrible, yellow and pale from the sun and rain.
The glue is super super strong and you need so much force to break the parts away. I used a big srewdriver to remove the side parts from the wing. And it sounds like you breaking the cf.
but the cf did not break , I was impressed how robust the thinn cf is.
