QUOTE (yellowchinaman @ Apr 6, 2012 - 3:39 PM)  QUOTE (hatchy_gt-s @ Apr 6, 2012 - 2:10 PM) Most hardware stores carry turnbuckles, I know there not "race car" ones but it doesn't really matter they do the same exact thing. I can buy turnbuckles almost anywhere here however the ends are important. Ideally you'd want ends with a wide washer type surface so the force pulling is spread over a wider surface area on both ends or it'll just crack the panel and pop off. Most hardware stores sells turnbuckels for adjusting tension on cables so the ends are usually ringlets. This splitter tray creates ALOT of down force and so it needs to be bolted really well to the front end of the car. The rods will help it being dragged under and ripped off which is why I'm being quite specific about what types of turnbuckes needed. Ya I know what your talking about you want solid rod bolt aposed to eyebolts. (I use to work in a hardware store) QUOTE (playr158 @ Apr 6, 2012 - 3:44 PM) might try www.mcmaster.com Nice find! These are what im talking about. Solid rod This post has been edited by hatchy_gt-s: Apr 6, 2012 - 3:36 PM |

QUOTE (marcov @ Jun 4, 2012 - 12:48 PM) available now?? not for a while. I've not started making these as I have a long line of other projects to work on. However our main obstacle is sourcing splitter adjustable rods with wide surface contacts so that they don't get ripped off. The rods are quite expensive and I'm trying to make these affordable but the rods alone are driving the price high. |

hey chinaman, glad I could help u out with the pics, lol. But I was wondering, judging buy the photo it looks like ur protype carries quite a bit of weight. Considering Im going off of a photo and the fact that it is just the protoype, I could be completely wrong. Wut is the weight looking like right now. and will this splitter be available in CF as well, FRP, or just fiberglass?

actually the prototype is lighter than my CF bonnet at the moment.
Im thinking of adding another ply of FRP even just to be on the safe side becasue the previous protoype was ripped of and smashed up. |

update if possible on the price and time for buying? this should bolt up to the existing holes in the front of the bumper correct? any chance this will come with nuts and bolts along with brackets for installment? will you post up a "how to install" on this product?
