Front splitter dimensions

[Scotty C]

I hope to get one made for less than half that.

At that price I would be interested too

Finally, the pictures comparing the standard and track front splitters. The track splitter is laid underneath the (fitted) standard splitter - I tried to line up the fixing holes. You will see that whilst the track splitter does stick out more (approx twice the standard) it is no wider.

Hopefully these pictures will enable you to work out what you need.

Thanks for that.

I am going to take the splitter off tomorrow night and make one up in ply.

So do you think it sticks out approx 3" (75mm) further at the front?

I think what makes the rear wing not legal for road use is the fact that the end plates are razor sharp (i.e. just thin plates of sheet metal) and our namby-pamby rules indicate that a pedestrian might get hurt if they were hit by them (ignoring the fact they would have already had to go through the roll bar!)

Same goes for the track based battery cut out switch which is why sva cars get the nice round adonised one too.

Scotty - sorry didn't measure it. I think from visual inspection it is about the same again as the standard splitter but have heard talk on here of 4" extra!

Are there any key distances you want measuring, bearing in mind that the track splitter and the car are currently not in the same location?

Ads - like the idea of the "adonised" cut-out switch - PGR340r will probably order a few of those to improve the look of his car

Did you not get one as standard?

I got a normal "key shaped" plastic one plus an anodised round metal one - didn't get an adonised one (in the shape of Adonis presumably)

No worries. I will split the difference and add on 3", it was more the profile I was after.

Cheers for that, remind me to buy you a beer some time

Del boy,

One should always take care of one's appearance, but I don't need an anodised one, as the owners of the first 15 cars ( you know the ones with the proper mirrors) all have platinum ones as standard!

He's right! I do have nice radiused carbon end plates coming up shortly, but at a price....

Nick.

Not to disappoint Del, you know I will be interested

I received the proper splitter yesterday. The track splitter extends exactly 2" further than the standard one. I just finished installing it. Took about a 1/2 hour, it helps to have a extra set of hands. The body sure is flimsy, the panels flop all over with the splitter removed....took a bit to get all the holes lined up. First track event this year one month away...can't wait!
