We've made a new mold for the front cycle wings which are the larger radius and deeper wings which are now on sale on the website. I know some builders prefer these to the smaller wings so they are now available as an option:

Nice, any chance you could post a pic of how one looks on a wheel to get an idea how much extra it covers it by compared to a small one? Ideally a photo with 2 wheels, one with a small arch and one with a the new large arch for comparison?

There is a new scuttle and aeroscreen design being done to go with the Mx5 build - mainly so that the mx5 dash can be used as it is above the steering column. Can also be used with sierra roadster, it will be similar to the westfield one but is a month or so away yet.

Will it involve using the original plastic plastic binacle shroud? As I sold mine!

No you wont need the plastic shroud Chris, it will just have a profile over the scuttle to match the dash and the same on the passenger side so that the dash.

Cant find anywhere on your site spud that will tell me if your cycle wings will cover a 225 section tyre, so I will ask the question here.

sticky 195's are about as wide as you want to go or it will float at any hint of a wet road

Trouble is I am useing a small block ford and know it will just eat 195/205 width tyres. Was hoping to get all the panels from spud but looks like i will have to get the arches from agm. Tyre width vs hp is according to cyrus .788 mm tread width per hp, That sort of limits the car to around 160hp. 225 section tyre is going to be an absolute minimum and wider on the back if poss .

Hi Robo,
The rears wings will take 225 tyres, these are pretty much an industry standard wing when you look on most cars. The fronts will go up to 195 for each type of wing. Maybe consider 195 front and 225 on the rear to balance out hp against balance / grip.
