Never run into that. You can probably find a center wing piece at the junk yard pretty easily

Re: 1ga talon center wing bracket
There's a few ways you can make it work. Go to home depot and pick up some aluminum strapping and cut it to the proper length. Then I'd either glue, silicone, double-side tape, zip tie, whatever, into the spot on the wing where the oem plastic mount usually goes. Then drill a hole and use a self tapping sheet metal screw to mount it. I've never actually tried this myself but I think you could get it work pretty well.

Re: 1ga talon center wing bracket
go to a floral supply store, ask for stickem' its a heavy duty double sided tape that's water proof. be sure to clean the area where the contacts will be. it works it been holding my wing since my other one flew off the fwy.

Re: 1ga talon center wing bracket
Oh ok, I was thinking you were talking about those little plastic square pieces that the bolts go through. Some really strong double-sided tape and/or some good epoxy would probably fix it right up.
