Loose cormorant wings

What is the best way to tighten-up loose wings on my '51 cormorant hood ornament?

They are just a little loose, just enough that you can wiggle them. Do I try and hammer the wedge in tighter? Or perhaps squirt in some JB Weld? Other ideas?

Thanks.

(Forgive me if this was already covered somewhere. I did search, honest)

Taping the wedge tighter is the conventional way. When I went to tighten them on my old 48 Custom I lost the wedge and used a wooden golf tee with just a dap of epoxy. Thirty years later it's still quite snug.

That means to see things from a different perspective!

I've got one with one wing missing. Maybe I can carve some cherry wing for it; hum?

Gene, try to get in contact with casey rog who has a cormorant of a 1951 300 with broken wing on his work bench waiting for a good idea. Look, it is spring and many bird species are polygamous and will mate with several partners ...

Take care, according to the driver's manual flightless Cormorants have a specific mating ritual.

To forgive is divine. Give PackardInfo a little shrove-money and it shall be forgotten that ever there were such a question.

I have used epoxy to "fix" one for a 1948. So far it looks to be working fine. I scuffed up the chrome on the wing stump so the epoxy would stick better.

Mine is for the 23 Series and the 23 and 24 would be a strange mating of wings I think. Gene
