My best advise would be make it unique but you as much as possible. I went KAR 120 but made it my version I hope. Cheers Stot |

Stot - sorry to jump you back in time - but can you provide any info about how you went about trimming and securing your Equinox bodywork? I'm having similar fitting problems to Voucht - so am going to pinch trimming solutions from him - but wondered what fixings you used/what spacings between them for side panels, scuttle and nosecone?

Instead of Tiger Seal I used this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Bond-...XAWAP1TTGYR06X which (having used this and Tiger Seal) works just as effectively and sticks like s**t to a blanket and, is cheaper, 4 for £15.

Trouble is - one mans 'oh, not many rivets' is another mans "I 'only' put a rivet every 75mm"!!!!! |
Ok - I used no rivets in the cockpit area at all just clamps, under the scuttle to the very front of the car I spaced pop rivets about every 6" but these are hidden by draught excluder (from Lidl) which stops the bonnet chattering. The underside of the car has rivets at about 8" spacing and is not visible unless you can get underneath. HTH :)
I should add that all the metal surfaces were given a coat of polywotsit even the triangulation pieces + no vibration noises |
Jesus Stot you are immensely creative and you've given me some more ideas of my own. Does anyone manufacture clam shell wings still as I want some now :D

Hi!
Equinox still manufactures clam shell front wings. Last item of this page: http://equinoxproducts.co.uk/product...ynes/roadster/ I have a full bodywork from them on my Roadster, and the quality of their work is excellent. Now, as it looks like you are aiming for a powerful Roadster, I guess you are looking for high performance, so be aware that clam shell wings are awful when it comes to aerodynamics. They are just acting like 2 big parachutes, and will add to the already bad aerodynamics of the car (like all "seven-like" cars, aerodynamics is not the best feature of our Roadsters). And I'm not even talking about fuel consumption... But they do look good and no problem on low/mid performance road cars in my humble opinion. Hope that will help :) |

I have a pair of unused BRG clamshell wings made by Tiger if you want them. Scruffy from being stored but cheap :-) |
