MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Wing mounting points

I am repairing the wing mounting flange that has three captive nuts in a vertical line. These are attached via bolts through the side of the footwell. See picture.

I don’t have any original metal to work from so I don’t know the position of the third hole. I am assuming the holes are in a vertical line and equi distant apart?

I want to replicate the position correctly as I may replace one of the wings at some point.

Can anyone confirm the position of the lowest hole relative to the other two please?

Chris,
sorry I can't give you the answer, even if I tried to get in the footwell at the moment I'd be stuck in there.

That all looks very nice to me.

It probably doesn't matter for this particular part but it's often best to state the model type and year to save possible confusion and allow for the many variances over the years even for the same model.

Traditionalist will measure to 16ths(?) of an inch.

Putting your vehicle profile up for view can (sometimes, if looked at) also help.

Yep, equidistant around 150 mm centres. At least it is on a mk111 midget.
