I asked him if he would look at making an aero screen that would be compatible with the agm kit. He said he is going to do this very soon. Similar to the Saturn one.

Not sure if yours has been sorted yet but could be worth a look.

Have you got your rear arches yet?

David

I've been shopping around for a pair of rear arches. My mate with a Polish franchised Tiger has bulletproof GRP panels of about 4 mm thickness that have supported the weight of the whole car on the kerb once, and my flimsy NTS arches suffered quite a lot of damage from much less significant stresses, I've been asking various suppliers what weight of the laminate they use for the rear arches. Here's the result:

AGM: 1x600g
Gillham: 2x450g
Equinox: 2x600 (as indicated on their web site).

I've ordered from AGM nontheless, because of the fast turnaround, reasonable shipping cost, and the price which is roughly half of the price of competition. They should arrive at my home in a couple of days.

Hi David,
Yes I have my rear arches now (wife got them from Equinox for a surprise)..:D
With regards to the aeroscreen, PorkChop AKA Dave very kindly bought down his bubble aeroscreen made by Aerodynamix when he visited me.
I must say it was top notch quality (carbon) and seemed as though it would fit the AGM body kit.

Westfield to the rescue
 

I have been wondering about how to make the cycle wing stays to fit the mx5 uprights for some time. I had a look at GBS, MNR and westfield's solution. From the pictures I could find the westfield ones seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. Before I attempted to copy their design I dropped a quick email to them on Wednesday night. I got a phone call back on Thursday at about 9.30am to say that he would do a pair for me. £36 each powder coated and could have them at donnington to collect on Sat or Sun.

I decided instead of trying to source materials, get my mate around with his welder and then send them to be powder coated I would buy them.

I collected them at the show. Russell the guy I was talking to showed me around the Honda version and pointed out what they had done with their MX5 cars.


Here is the end result. The only parts I have ever purchased for my build that didn't need any fettling or adjustment. they went straight on (5mins/side)!!

Before fitting..



After fitting...



I also managed to get hold of a few odds and ends like black rivets along with a big roll of carpet (most awkward to carry lol).

There seemed to be a lot of seven type cars and i'm sure one of them was a Haynes roadster but I didn't recognise it from here.

So are these only held in place by a single bolt? Or is there something i cant see here that keeps the the fenders moving front to back.

They attach to the lower calliper mounting bolt and .the ball joint bolt

ah so there are two tabs, one going at 90 degrees to the one we can see

Where abouts in NZ are you from?

David

from and still in Rotorua

I have bought some 2 inch exhaust pipe that slots together. What size of clamp do I need to join this. Ie how are the clamps measured? Diameter or circumference? I'm confused.
