hi guys, does anyone know where i can get an aluminum rear wing here in Australia? similar to this one.... I'm about to do up an engine cover for the drag bug and if i can get one cheap enough i'd like to put one on there. obviously not for any real aerodynamic purposes, i just think they look cool It's only gonna get faster from here so it might as well look the part!

Mick

Big wig race cars make them. Try rod Penrose or get it direct from the states.

Heh heh... with a wing that size, could make comments about over compensating Mick !!!

Quite liked the look of the wing on one of the Bugs at Warwick.... Herrod Helper they're called, and can get 'em on samba pretty easy it seems.

Reckon you should go one of them !!!

Make your self some templates from card board, cut the pieces your self from ally sheet with a jig saw,
or get a sheety to cut it, and bend the ally for you.
I think the "buy it from the states" is getting out of hand.
Just the freight would cost more than the materials.

Ah Sides, I saw that wing also.... I didn't like it at all As i said, it's not about aerodynamics... It's about having a big friggin' wing! Make it look like a drag car!

DB, you are probably right, i know bigwig race cars sells them in the states... the price is good, the freight will kill it. I have spoken to Rod, he makes his own. I have spoken to wayne, he buys a few every now and then but he has none left and by the sounds of it probably won't get any in for a while.

I just thought someone here might know of, or have an old one they would part with.... Might just have to make a bit of a project of it between now and sydney!

ask matty b when he is back from the mountain as he has a big ASS one on his baja yeah

He got that one from michael nash I think, leftovers from his drag car build.... It's a ron lummus racing wing and he got it for a bargain!

Hey Mick, thought about getting a few guys together to share the shipping?
Barry

It did cross my mind, you have pm in reply to the pm you sent me asking if the previous pm worked....................

DIY ain't a bad idea....in the immortal words from Top Gear... how hard can it be ???

If only we knew someone with a sheet bender in their shed...

cough... STIDUB.... cough

oooh..... and the skills to use it only problem i see is that i can't cut straight to save my life.....

Heh heh - you just clamp a piece of wood down, and run the jigsaw along side of it... easy as !!!

If I get a chance I will make some up . Who else want's one.
Maybe I can do a few at once.

what would you charge for one?

I will work it out or you

Cool thanks!

Westi i'd be interested,
cheers Barry

I'd be interested too pls

Any news Westi?

Nah not yet .
I need to get my car down the shop so I can jig one up.
It should be over the next 1 to 2 weeks. I kinda neglected work and need to catch up on a few things.
I guess they will be around 200 ish.I will let you know.

got the Big wing
Now just have to get the 2443cc so not only does it look good but the wing gets to work .

Awesome! That's what i want! Did you get it from big wig race cars?

Yep

Ian how long did it take for you to get it? I ordered one with a couple of other bits from him over 6 months ago and all I keep getting is excuses.

Come on Mick get creative!!

Although good price from Westi, and sure it would look sweet too.

We'll probably just make one in the end.... After i get the turbo on there. We'll probably need to cut a hole in the wing for the holley to stick through anyway! By the looks of them they sit up pretty high on those manifolds....

And yeah, i reckon a westi one would be the ducks nuts too...!

Westi is always first to put his hand up, he da man.

Come on Greg... Get out the jigsaw and beer.... You'll have it nailed in an afternoon!
