Rad outlet aerofoil

[TuxMan]

For anyone that's interested I have re-designed the rad outlet aero foil , my original one was a bit thin and did not fit quite right . if anyone is interested in one they are going to cost £40 each + postage including screws . I only have enough flat sheet to make 5 so its first come first serve , no intension of making any more .
you can also buy them from Reverie .

I,m also sure there are others on the forum who can make the same product for less so don't buy anything from me and wait for them to appear .

Did I here right the other day that this stops the rad heat coming in through the window, I have the tunnel mod but you can still feel this hot air?

Put me down for one!

Well done Simon, yes please

Dear All,
Please note this will also reduce rear end downforce. What you do at one end affects the other and not always in a predictable way.

Thanks Paul , AW seem to think it was about an 8% reduction , a slight tweek in wing height would bring that back but I doubt anybody would notice . I,m hoping to get rid of a bit of medium speed understeer .

true, but isn't the true effect to transfer the aero balance rearward on a standard car that has a lot more rear downforce and weight than front?

I've deliberately not fitted one as I didn't want the drag penalty and I've sorted my cooling via other means

I'll take one please Simon if there is one left.

Ok Guys , please e-mail me address details etc. , I am at Silverstone on Monday the 22nd for anyone who would like to collect , failing that I am happy to post . just need to work out how !! I would think £10 should cover postage.

I Will make a 2nd sheet so there is some spares .

Tux, or anyone else, i notice the aerofoil is a straight piece. Would there be any advatange in making it slightly curved? I have seen this sloped design used on BIG bonnt louvers on cars like the NEMO EVO.

here are some pics.
