Front splitter

After a few years of being without the splitter I decided it was time to fit a new one to the car. I was thinking of using marine ply again but those nice people at Carbonmods convinced me to use the a carbon foam sandwich. What do you think?

Looks great. I'd like to see a few close ups of the securing method and front edge treatment.

I still hanker after a removable, two piece (so it goes behind the seats on the way to the track) track splitter with square corners and massive overhang!!

Mmmmm, I like it!!

I have used jack nuts and reinforced the front edge. I used rivenuts on the first splitter and worked fine on numerous runs at Bruntingthorpe. the first splitter died after turning into a big gully and then getting caught on a 1 inch high crack in concrete.

Looks really nice... only thing that puts me off using CF in that area is the danger of breakage and the cost of replacement (I've gone through plenty of splitters in my time!).

Must say, I'm a big fan of quality ply... if it's good enough for boats and airplanes, then it's good enough for me!

Can say the quality is fantastic. Had a close look at weekend and must say Guy great job. I fear for the local wildlife, it will chop small animals in half with no trouble. Pity you sealed front edge it will stop me sneaking down to pinch it.

Looks lovely mate. Just don't rip it off on Marlow bridge

Looks great.

A great tip for the future is to bond a thin (3-4 mm) plywood to the underside of the Divinucell (or equal). Makes it very strong and not too heavy.
