im hoping for an update too.
I havent been in this forum for a while now. Mainly been working on my four and business closed till new years.
The mould is nearly finished and we'll be making a test sample and fiiting it to a track car in late Jan and I'll be able to post some results.
This looks really sweet. interest in seeing the finished product
yay.... one month later. where you at???

currently being tweaked before making the final thing. I'm having trouble sourcing some turnbuckles suited for flat panels.
I saw that Nascar rear spoilers use them but I can't get hold of them in the UK.
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.
might try www.mcmaster.com

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.
okay, but what kind of prices are we talking about?
you can pm me if you want.
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?

FromJapantoTexasmy st202 follows me.Being different from every angle of the word, leading the Revolution (TOYOTA NATION)The RHD st202 that made it from Japan check it out.http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=78103
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?
I assume this will replace the stock underplastic's right?
