I can't put it down....I riveted to my head years ago to free up both hands.

PM some details, I'll have it in 3D CAD by next friday.

I love where these threads just wander off to. lol

Well if I could get the ebay nutter to stop sending me the same reply to a question I asked about that cheaper wing, I would go ahead with it. I think we will try this cheaper wing and do it like Hans' fittings.

Now a related question would naturally be, what do you do about the suspension? Does the wing and front splitter significantly affect the current setup in a bad way?

Oh, I meant to post this car again just for reference in the thread. I'd like to see more pics of the wing setup
but from what I understand the owner is a bit shady so I doubt this is going to happen anytime soon.



Might not be to everybody's tastes but geez the work in this car is amazing.

I know and ST can vouch for it as we both lived in CT when they raced at Lime Rock Park. The 66 car was sold to a UPP customer and now ever car has these uprights. These cars were built by a good friend of mine, that is why I have a set. The wing uprights were designed by them and to fit a Crawford wing.

ok, I'm done.
Sorry man, it must have come out wrong on my part I meant that Scott sells the setup now, so if people wanted to get one they'd need to fab it themselves or go through him to get a setup.

The Lockton cars are totally sick and tons can be learned from them - wasn't trying to deprive them of the credit for their awesome work. Everything on the cars built (to include the sick carbon brake scoops) was either custom or top shelf.

Obligatory pic of said badassness:

Wish there were some video of that car and some of the others like it. It's wrong that the world is deprived of these slices of badass history.

Ok we've decided to give one of these a go as they're so much cheaper than some of the uber ones available from Overseas.

So there are 3 to choose from. One is 138cm/54" wide, the next 142cm/55", and the next is big at 173cm/68" wide. The large one is about a $1000 locally and the others are $450 -$500Au. They're 100% c/f and the finish looks pretty good in the pics. Obviously we'll have to make up the mounts and struts but which one do we go for?

Is bigger always better? How wide are our cars btw? I would think the larger the wing the more solid the supports need to be.

They look good.
The car is 173.5 cm wide so the 173cm/68" is a pretty perfect match. Might scare fellow trafficants on the road though
