Working along side with Jamie at CW Racing to develop a proper front splitter. (Not a front lip)
Universal for all cars as long as the front end if flat. (This can be achieved with a front lip added on) This is what we've come up with so far. Opinions pls?

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 |
