Afternoon all

I've tried a few searches but not found what I'm after.

How is the nose cone on the Indy attached to the car. I see that the bonnet goes over the rear lip but what holds the rest to the front of the car? Any description/links to photos much appreciated

Cheers for the help

hi mate restin place with rest of body

and use two 1 inch square hinges on the front chassis front face and hinge the other side to the inside bottom edge

thanks chris

Mines, hinged at the front via two hinges. Rivenuts to chassis, with bolts to hold hinges on and hinges bolted to the GRP. To keep the thing down, two bolts are rivenutted to the chassis top rails at the back of the nose cone..

Have a look at Hellfires site I think he has a pic..

People have used a variety of methods - I used some hinges at the front and two bolts into rivnuts in the top of the chassis just inside the nosecone.

Others have used Dzus fasteners and the like.

There is no right way or wrong way really.

Hinges as per pic:-

I just used 2 bolts on the top chassis rail just inside the nose.

I also had to cut a bit of the bottom away to fit around the front bolts on the bottom wishbones. When you fit the nose cone you have to slot the bolts into the gap, so when the top bolts are done up the nose cone doesnt move.

I used 2 rivnuts into top chassis rail and a couple of ali angle brackets and rivnuts into the bottom chassis rail.
