What type of car do you have? What style wing, 70 or 71 do you have, and most importantly do you have the correct trunk lid with spoiler cut-outs ? All this will determine the location of the wing.

ok..all that would help huh?..sorry about that 72 barracuda..and  my lid is the original one..doesnt look to have any cutout i can see...i quickly tried to see if i could see where the under lid brackets went..as they have a curvature to them and i was confused!!..(hey it was a long day it dont take much)..so i thought i had better do some research before getting that drill ready..lol..thanks

70 go wing

Ok....Job might be a little more involved.
You have to determine if you have the 1970 Cuda brackets or the 1971 Cuda brackets.

The 70 brackets "fit'' the contour of the lid only in one area so it will be easy to determine the approximate location of the wing. The 71 brackets will be more difficult.

BEFORE you drill, assemble the wing and use it for measuring between the left and right uprights. Sometimes the aftermarket wings aren't exactly the same as originals.

Can you post a picture of the underside of your deck lid ? You may have one wing cut-out in the correct location already.

OK, now I see the picture, those are correct 70 pieces.

i will go snap a pic of the underside of the lid in a bit ..i can keep it centered side to side no prob..its the front to back that worries me..lol..thanks again!!..i had planned on taping it all off to look at it quite a few times before drilling anything..even getting another set of eyes!!!

hope this helps

The bracket should fit in the square hole on the driver's side of the trunk lid with the round part of the bracket fitting the contour of the lid. That will give you the correct forward-aft positioning.

[Madmaxx]

ok that kinda makes sense..now on pass. side there isnt a hole to get inside?..

[Madmaxx]

aaaahhh..i just found a pic on ebay!!..shows it perfect!!!!..i was confused!!..now i see!!

[anlauto]

Here's another picture...I guess your existing square hole is NOT in the correct location for 70 but 71.

Hope this helps. The measurements come from an old issue of All American Racer (S.I.A.C.)
First Place Auto sells various templates. I bought the ones for a 1970 trunklid, they're about 30 bucks.
