Mid-America has reissued the 3wide Womp with those extenders, as pictured.
Don't know if Roger is planning on issuing them separately but you could ask him. He may have some NOS brass ones on a shelf somewhere.

We use to just shorten the 1/24 scale side dams in the 1980s.

These wide bodies were originally made for the Parma Baby Brasskar, a shortened 1/24 chassis, which is a better handling chassis if you can find them. I used shortened 1/24 wire chassis with mine. Up to about a 4" axle to guide length chassis will fit under these bodies which tends to work better than the shorter Womp length. For a wing car, one of the current short-length Boxstock chassis would work nicely, though the aero on these bodies is not the best even with shortened 1/24 air dams and spoiler. Mid-America has reintroduced all 4 bodies available in clear in their web store: https://slotcarstore.net.
The original Parma offerings were made in .010 Lexan. The Mid-America re-introductions are .015 Lexan.
