Exposed chassis corners

Hi guys,

I'm building a sylva striker.
I was wondering about where the bonnet meets the chassis...
Basically the way the bonnet sits means the front corners of the chassis are exposed.

Is this going to be bad for IVA? As far as i can see it's like this on most strikers...

Cheers,
Andy

As long as its blunted its ok, as i dont think its more than a 5mm projection. And even if it is more than 5mm, a 2.5mm radius is probably achieved just from the natural shape and powder coating.

Yep mine is something like that. my nose cone screws in from the sides in to some angle brackets. this may flare the fg nose cone out a little so its not as bad.





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
