Page 121 shall be the page of Plywood it seems.
I started by getting the car up on the ramps, I need to remove the bumper to drive it up the ramps, so that came off first:
And up she goes:
I took a measurement along the sill line to see where the car was sitting, this will become my target angle for the splitter to ensure it's parallel to the ground when finished, or slightly nose down if anything.
I marked up the centre line, and drew around my existing LCR splitter to get a rough outline shape.
Then added 100mm all round for the splitter projection, this should suit, as the sides of the LCR splitter curve in tighter than the bumper, so total projection on the sides ends up around 50mm.
And out came the Jigsaw:
Next up came the rear piece, all cut out and finished:
The idea of making it in 2 parts, is that the front section is fairly likely to get damaged at some point, and also, if it were a single piece, I'd be unable to remove it and take it home if it were damaged. By making it this way, it can be removed and put in the back of the car if needed.
Like so: (hole is to clear the dog bone mount)
Held up for a test fit:
(angle not set here)
Hinges fitted to join the two halves (these will be bolted up in the finished product)
I left a 2mm gap between the sections, which is just enough to allow adjustment of the splitter angle without the two parts binding.
Rear section test fitted, this is bolted through the two captive bolts that hold the lower subframe brace in place. it's absolutely solid here!
But as an extra, I added tie rods hanging down from the chassis rails to take extra weight
I welded M8 nuts to the end of the thread bar, then ground it all down so there's as little as possible sticking down to catch
Getting there:
More tomorrow
