MK1 Racer (ALL BROKEN PHOTOBUCKET PICS FIXED) - Painted and out of the bodyshop....

Oh
My
God.

Utterly sensational. An absolute credit to you.

What exactly bothers the msa scrutes about the arch vents?

 

Lots of people think fitting cage and stripping it 'ruins' a car, but I think it still looks pretty good

I think that it is this...

MSA section J (5.2.6)

With the exception of racing cars or cars from A to D be equipped on all wheels with mudguards which present no sharp edges and cover the complete wheel (flange + rim + tyre) around an arc of 120 degrees.

The minimum coverage must be:

A) be achieved with a continuous surface of rigid material within which ventilation louvres may be fitted. The tyre must not be visible when viewed from above.
When viewed from the rear, the tyre must not be visible from any point above 50mm or more above the axle centre line.

Thanks Sam

 

Whole thread has had broken photobucket links sorted




Thanks to rubjonny suggestion on another thread - have gone through and edited each tag and took about 1.5 hours, so not too bad.

 

Ali have you sorted the wheelarch Louvre issue or still need to?

They will look pish and probably not big enough either.

 

Only a thought, something that obviously needs sorting as its regs

 

Sorry I didnt mean to sound like a dick having read back my own post

Certainly something that needs sorted but i'm sure we will come up with something that compliments the car plus i hate fords hahaha

 

Something like this could be perfect if it was rounded and the curve happened to match the arc of the existing berg arches. However, I fear that chances of finding this are slim!

I have experimented with fine mesh so that it still allows air to pass, but I could then argue that you cannot 'see' the tyre. Problem was properly fixing it to underside of the arch. Will take another look at it again soon.

 

Wurth Bond and Seal will stick anything to anything else, if the surfaces are clean and dry. And will stay stuck.

 

No drama lol

The 3 door vents as Ive shown are quite a decent size and I reckon could be made to fit and look neat as only fibreglass so could be cut/bent and glued in place

Approx 8inches x 5 inches

 

Awesome build!
