Splitter - Cerb

[HarleyPilot]

Guys,

Would anyone per chance know the exact measurements of the splitter for a Cerb. I am offshore at present, but have available materials to make one up - Just need the length and screw hole positions etc.

Thank you in advance

Unless your going to use it on a track I would not bother.

[HarleyPilot]

Oh I do intend tracking it! ) but would hate for the bonnet to wobble loose! and from what I am reading - certainly worth fitting.

Thanks GG

On the road no.

There in the distant past somebody made them and posted up pictures but it's Friday and I will let you google.

[HarleyPilot]

That's my week-end sorted then - thanks )

It may be worth a PM to SimonKD, he may have dimensions as he made one for me

I suspect its the same splitter as on the Griff, but haven't measured.

Most interesting thing is that on the Cerb it is mounted the other way around meaning its more of a wind deflector than the splitter on the Griff. That's TVR though.

98% of Cerbs, Griffs and Chims have had the splitter wiped off.
You can get one from ACT and a few other places.
Basically it is positioned near the rear of the chin of the car, ie about a foot back from the front of the car, underneath.
Mine on my Chim is a piece of stainless, 900mm long (ie from side to side under the car(=) and 75mm wide, with a 45 degree bend the entire length, halfway across the 75mm. It then needs about 6 evenly spaced screw holes and fitting- you should find the old holes under the car from where the one yours had from the factory got knocked off.

There are some good photos near the end of the splitter thread in the Chimaera section - but the Cerbera has it fitted facing the rear of the car, not the front. It still creates a slight vacuum under the engine, which helps suck air through, improve cooling and stops the bonnet flapping (as much). My car was also improved by tightening the bonnet catch - i had the bonnet flap at 70mph passenger side, 100 mph drivers side and fly open at 135mph... now it stays put all the time.

Yes, I've replaced Griff ones 3 times, not lost it on the Cerb yet though.

You have a Cerb with a splitter? Can I send you a tape measure.......?

[Englishman]

Just for you - 2' 11" on mine - approximately

Qbee thanks have a tape measure but unfortunately rolling around on a boat in the middle of the North Sea in a Force 8 - can't seem to find the Cerb!!! hope its back home in the garage safe and waiting )

Its ok, I was asking Englishman if he had one, as he has a Cerb with a splitter.........not that i can see it in that photo, but its been a long week.

[pmessling]

How about a carbon one. Maybe less likely to go completely missing. Might wear better. Or plastic. Have some flex.

[C3BER]

Don't bother unless it's for track use. If it's still on your car after a week your a tart driver lol

I have a splitter on mine, straightened it after I got the car, works well at keeping the nose down, and never got close to scraping it, but car isn't stupid low either
