Xlab Carbon Wing mountain hardware question
Quote | Reply
Hi,
I got a new out of box Carbon Wing that didn't come with hardware. I ordered the mounting hardware off amazon, but when it arrived it said for Super Wing and Turbo Wing "Not for Carbon Wing"
On their website they list separate hardware for the Carbon Wing.

I'm confused cos the holes all line up. It looks the same in the pictures. What is the difference?
Can I use the Super Wing/ Turbo Wing hardware on the Carbon Wing???
I wrote X Lab, but would like to mount this tonight. Can anyone help with this?
thanks for any info.

Hi etip -

Sorry we didn't see your email - when did you send it? We had one customer last week, but they had a different carrier - not sure if that was you?

The Super Wing/Turbo Wing hardware and Carbon Wing hardware do share the same rail clip and bolts but the differences come when you compare the other 2 items.

Super/Turbo Wings take an external lockwasher, whereas the Carbon Wing takes an internal lockwasher. In addition, the Carbon Wing has a flat washer to protect the carbon fiber.

Thanks Candice!!
I emailed yesterday (impatient, I know). Got a weird message when I sent it so ??

Thanks for the info.
Since I've already got the Super Wing/ Turbo Wing hardware, can I make it work by adding flat washers to protect the Carbon Wing? (And maybe different lock washers?)

Thanks for your help.
I love your products!
Etip.

Ah ok - yeah unfortunately we didn't get it so something must have gone wrong there. Will test the forms to make sure they are working now.

Yep So you just need some M5 Flat washers and M5 Internal Lockwashers then you will be set!
