Sandwiched between the wing and the inner arch top edge joint are two flat washers (only at the two intermediate fastener positions).

My question is - does anyone know if these are part of the wing/bonnet alignment process because the 'new' wing is now sitting a little proud of the bonnet level.
Hi John.
I presume you are referring to the two washers in the photo 25 in the link below, did you check that the new wing did not have any debris on the under side of it.

Also did you add some silicone along the length of the inner wing before fitting as this aids sealing along the edge.
