Front Splitter Advice Wanted

[356Speedster]

Evening all. I've been considering a splitter for a while (not sure whether to make or buy one at the min, but that's another story), but the thing that always put me off is the clamshell opening.

My clam is only a few mm from the floor when it open, so there's obviously no room for a splitter. I see plenty of cars with splitters, so I'm assuming there are fixes for this. My clam is std, on std rose joint hinges with the std retaining bar on the between the clam & diagonal chassis bar.

I can't afford a lovely SS front end at the moment (money needs to go into other things on the car first!).... My thoughts are I could move the retaining bar to restrict the clam's opening as an easy fix, but has anyone else found a more elegant fix. A cantilever hinge would be awesome, if anyone has made one / knows a supplier?? Any thoughts guys?

Thanks for the nod, Roj!

Who's was the black GTR at Stoneleigh then? Hopefully someone on here? I'd really like to get a better hinge to allow the clam to open fully with a splitter and not hit the floor!

Something like the CJulian hinge would be perfect....


Has anyone managed to do something similar? If anyone with an SS front end could take some pics of their hinge to share, it'd be great to compare too. I know there are more chassis / clam mods there, but it'd be good to compare.
