Has anybody got a CAD drawing of the front splitter or suggest how I can go about getting one.

Thanks

Probably the easy (read cheap) way to do it is place the front clip on a sheet of 1/4" ply and draw round it. Move the clip back about 2 1/2" to 3" then mark the back out, cut it out and bolt it on...

I did this on my Davrian and it worked very well. I just sanded, primed and painted black, but you could also skin in very light glass cloth for a better finish. You can get it from model shops pretty cheaply.

Best thing with a wood splitter plate is that if you hit anything, it is cheap to replace and breaks away before damaging the front clip.

Just my thoughts,

Cheers, Mart

Thanks Mart,

I already have a template and have fitted a splitter in the past. I know it costs a fortune but I am going to fit a carbon splitter. The company says they will cut the splitter if I can send a CAD drawing.

If I go down this route I will cover it myself - simple enough to do. Have to say the old wood version lasted years untill I made an ambitious move into a petrol station- won't do that again
