You need schumacher style bullet wing mounts holder. basically its a bullet like shape with a M3 tap inside that you attach to the shock tower, and the other side is a small hole the size of the wire wing mount with a small set screw to jam the wire. You then bend a wire to the shape needed and use button clamps to screw on the wing to the wire. I may have the mounts somewhere, gotta look for them. The last i remembered they were pretty worn. Yes i remember the kyosho box itself showing the optima mid that way. if I am not mistaken the 1989 kyosho catalog has the same pics, lemme go home and scan them for you guys.Yes i have the 1989 kyosho catalog !
