Kevin (Mr T) Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Well, my "How To Sort Webbers" book didn't arrive, so I couldn't strip the carbs down in the warm comfort of the dining room. So instead, I went to the garage a froze my rusty nuts off fitting this....... Can't afford a carbon one at the moment, so had a guy I know cut and fold three pieces of aluminium to my drawing and rivet them together. I covered the outside in a offcut of carbon vinyl that JD Wraps let me have in exchange for my copy of the WSCC mag that featured their wrapping skills. It's not as close to the ground as it looks, having about the same clearance as the floor. I don't think it looks too shoddy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Pete Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Looks fab, at least another 50bhp boost . I see the new seats have also arrived and been fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seats and aeroscreen - traded some of those weight savings for the splitter, but still think I've a net reduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garytipping Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi Mr T. I quite like the look of your red seats, would you consider parting with them? I'm going for an 'old school' look with my pre lit. Regards Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take some photos of the seats on Monday and you can see the overall condition. They are 28 years old, so far from perfect. If you think you can do something with them, you can have them for the postage (or any other method of transport available) and a beer at Stoneleigh. Kevin.

CraigHew Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 If you manage to reverse over someone that splitter will produce human chips... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garytipping Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi Mr T, That's great thanks! more than happy to buy beer. If you pm me your address I'll come down and collect them.

SootySport Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Cor, you've been a busy boy Kev. Liking the budget splitter but I would round of the corners of the strakes a bit. Hate to think of the consequences when reversing over one of us at a trackday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
