I'm fed up either buying or repairing front cycle wings for my car.

Has anybody made any, and if so what did you use as a mould/buck?

I was thinking about the inside of a 17" tyre.

use a cycle wing as the buck, worked ok for me (my friend actually).

where are you? The mould is fine for cheap wings.

make a mould of one of your current front wings from in GRP. Then you'll have exactly the same as you old ones!

HTH,

Andy

hardboard & MDF buck, use filler to create the curves.

Make an arch that fits the tyre !

Unfortunately in my last race I destroyed one and seriously rearranged the other.

Anybody have a buck I could borrow if I paid the postage.

Hi Gary

That mould would be great.

I'm back out at the end of the season when my Masters is finished. Got a whole load of plans to get the car looking good and going well.

I'm off to Coningsby next so we'll be local.

If you're interested, here's a video of us at Thruxton last year...

Speak soon

looks slippy!!

bugger, just saw the end!!!

Surely that was more than just a wing!!

Much more than just a wing:

Front lower wishbone
Bent rear axle (now straightened)
Driveshaft
Wheel
Tyre
Rear Wing
Bodywork

Lots of Time

And money !!!

saw your other video from pembrey. Looks like a good reason for a side impact bar when people go out braking themselves like that!
