Yes, but prepare yourself for a day of careful measurement & fiddly work.

I wanted to keep the standard T350 badge so just used 2 supports, tested to 150mph so far biggrin

A pic's in here http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0...

Bits you can't see is two very large washers inside bodywork behind top fixing which has all the airflow stress, to prevent pulling out. They need one side cut down so they'll fit close enough to top of panel. Other is an extra nut acting as a spacer on the top bolt. Filled the gap with foam strip.

You're welcome.

Looks like it won't fit doesn't it! In the end with just the right angle and the spacing nut to allow the top to stand off about 5mm, it just needed to have about 2mm filed then polished about from underneath one end.

Obviously need to be really careful to mock it up all up firmly in position first, held with tape etc to precisely mark up holes in body & spoiler before drilling.

Hope it goes ok. It's functional to some extent too, TVR did some tests with ally panel version at MIRA and Bruntingthorpe which showed a small but useful reduction in rear lift for stability in fast corners, as expected as the 'Gurney flap' design is well tested esp. in US oval racing. smile
