tailgate fin,t350c

[the jollyrodger]

hi,anybody know where i can get a tailgate fin for a t350c?
i know i'll need one from a sagaris and need it re-drilled,thanks.

TVR Power.

Looks best IMO to fit just 2 of the ally supports each side of badge, will need extra nuts as spacers between top bolt to supports & body, and large washer inside body cut to half-moon shape for strength.

Just my opinion obviously but I've never realy like those...they spoil the lines of the t250...Do they work and give more down force..Can you really feel a difference at speed?

Spoiler - is slight difference at speed, cornering @ 70+. Only useful on track really.

Do you wear rings?
Bad idea IMO not that's it any of my business
But powder coated better as the paint would be harder.

I have just modified a standard bracket to fit over the badge / tailgate release. I am going to fit three brackets so it basically looks like a Sag. The modified bracket has been milled out and few mm bigger than the badge in height and back half the thickness of the bracket. By the time washers are attached there will be loads of room to function the opener. I was not sure that two was enough and 4 seemed too many.

Fair enough, well done.

Just to reassure, 2 with large washers behind have been enough for 148mph at Goodwood a few times
