The 400 front wings, which were stamped out and unlike all future Bristols not coachbuilt on the English wheel, were always very thin and lightweight, e.g. compare them to a monstrous Jaguar wing. If you can’t find a pair of really good ones (and this may be difficult after 75 years), why not get the old ones Glass blasted or soda blasted , and strengthen them with fibreglass on the inside. This would keep them going quite a bit longer. Hope this helps!
Stefan.
