Hi, I am thinking of putting diamond plate wing protectors on my 109, does anybody have the measurements? I would appreciate yr help. I know they should be 2 mm or 3 mm thick, but lengths and width ?

They are held on with a bunch of flat head bolts with the corresponding nuts and washers.
I bought mine from AB as I was looking for the silver bare metal ones, and I believe our hosts carry them in black somewhere on the site.Bad gas mileage gets you to some of the greatest places on earth.Comment

I guess I mis-spoke when I said flat head bolts. See, the wing protectors have pre-drilled holes in them, but no hardware comes with them to attach them to the wing. (they are $hitpart brand). So HOW you attach them is entirely up to you, and how you want to proceed!
If I had the tools, I would personally have gone with rivnuts. Getting your hand under the wing to thread the nuts was a challenge in a few of the areas.Bad gas mileage gets you to some of the greatest places on earth.Comment

Mine are held on with rivnuts and a substantial amount of never seize on the screws. I also ran a foam gasket around the edge so crap wouldn't work it's way between the wing protector and the wing. Mine is very easy to remove in the event you need remove the wing to do other repairs.
