mnr rear diffuser
Morning all
Quick question, has anyone yet successfully grafted a diffuser by MNR onto an MK Indy? If so how easy was it and any chance of a brief explaination
of what was involved.
Oh and any photos of the item fitted would be appreciated.
As always, thanks for any assistance.
Nigel

I was going to graft an MNR one to my Indy but when I spoke to Danny (MK) about it he has one in prototype being made. Tbis was before Christmas and
he hasn't updated me on where they are with it? Suspect he's been busy with Autosport but hope he'll progress it soon as it sounds
like there is some demand for them!

Thanks all for the info. I've U2u'd Danny abot the diffuser and emailed Mac#1 so I'll just need to show some patience and see what
happens.
Thanks again

cheers for the link Nash, I believe though that it isn't a perfect fit to an Indy and just wondered how much hassle it was to get it to fit.
As for the aluminium idea, I'd love to but my fabrication skills are up there with my knowledge of electrics I'd have a go if aluminium
wasn't so expensive for me to cock it up 3 or 4 times before getting it right.

Was also planning to do an Ali one once the weather warms up a bit. Figured though that covering the underside was probably more beneficial on
sliperyness that the splitter fins oveall?

It's not rocket science to make one in Ali - but it is fiddly to do it.
Simply made with 2mm verticals and 1.6mm horizontals and lots of rivets. Mine was made in three sections - a low middle bit to clear the deDion and
the outers which are higher.
Looks good IMHO. After the gearbox rear seal leaked, it was "pleasing" to see that the oil tracked all the way to the back in nice smooth
lines!!.

That's cracking, exactly what I had in mind, hopefully even less complex and achievable in a single main sheet though.

thanks again for all the replies and assistance. for anyone interested Danny replied yesterday and the MK diffuser should hopefully be ready next
month and approx cost is in the £135 range.
In the meanwhile I'm breaking out the cardboard to see if I can create anything suitable myself which doesn't look like a stick on
joke.
Thanks again
Nigel
