ok i have an s13 hatch track car, it is currently undergoing quite a bit of overhaul, and im looking for a solution on how to mount my wing...
it is a rotora dry(prepreg) carbon wing currently mounted on the hatch lid as pictured....
My problem is with a carbon trunk lid i get tons of flex, and therfore rendering the wing useless... i am trying to figure out a way to chassis mount the wing to get use of the downforce....
idea 1: mount a plate on the trunk on the underside of wing mount. weld in a bar from the frame to the underside of the trunk so when the hatch is closed the to plates rest on top of each other....
idea 2: cut the hatch and do a 1 pc rised from the frame to the wing.... (i would use pins at the bottom part of riser to easily remove wing) like seen here....
the only issue i for see with this method is the risers interfereing with my fuel cell directly below.... (unless i mount risers at 45* making a trapazoid like thing?)
what have you guys done to chasis mount your wings? (for those who dont have mounts wide enough to just mount between trunk and fenders)...
thanks in adavnce...
