Nose Cone Mk2

I was thinking about making my own nose cone my self. How hard is it? Also about the shaping of it, would it be much better if i made it pointed like an F1 car or would it not make much difference. Thanx

Take a look at Dunc's post on the 2nd of this month, it's a bit further down, the thread is called 'Daylight, at last!!!'

He's just finished making a buck for his nosecone and there are photo's somewhere.

As for the shape of the nosecone, it's up to you really.

I'd say an F1 shape would probably do very little for the aerodynamics however it would mess up the cooling. That big grille is there for a reason!

i thought you can get rear mounted ones?

Hmmm.. there was some discussion about rear mounted rads a while ago but I think it was decided it'd be more hassle than it was worth. You'd have to find somewhere to mount it, run the pipes back, fit a bigger pump etc - lots of messing around!
