S2 fork ears - pics needed!

[erlingw]

I finally managed to get a pair of ears for my S2. Black painted, with weld-in nut for the reflectors.
But they were both bent, twisted and buckled beyond repair.

Now, I'm planning to make new ears to weld to the tubes I have.
The press form is OK - I tested today, and it came out quite nice. But I need a picture to see how much the ears must be bent inwards - as seen from above. Or should they be 100% straight?

If You know of a good pic somewhere on the www, please post link or pic here.

Thanks,
ErlingW

Found a pic on MrAxls S2-teardown photos. But if anyone can show me from different angles, I'd be thankful...

Thanks, Johnny!
A lot came up, but buckled, bent or twisted - and some were S2A.

I don't want to make my replicas wrong shaped, so that's why I'm so difficult to satisfy. Sorry...
Going to the garage now. Will finish a pair of wings, and see how they fit. Pictures will be posted in this thread.

Planning to make replicas for the early H1 too - just the wing itself, to weld to the hopefully straight tubes. If I have success, I'll make more of them, and sell them too, if anyone wants them.

Finally found them... As I was thinking, they are straight shaped.
Going to take lots of measurements - and finish that press form I started on.

Here are 2 pics, in case some of You need to see too...
