Cycle wing placement ( have I got this correct)

[HandyAndy]

Thanks Mark

This is where i get confused ( doesn,t take much I know )

Standard number 5 states that the REAR of the wheel guard must not terminate above a horizontal plane of 150mm above the wheel center......

so with the perspex device up against my wheel/cycle wing the photo shows that my wing is below the 150mm horizontal line ( i,ve copied the sketch from the manual onto the perspex )

and as long as the front of the cycle wing is further forward than 30 degrees & the rear 50 degrees & that the rear terminates below the 150mm line then in my opinion its within the guidelines is it not ?

The part thats confusing me is that the manual doesn,t state the rear of the wing needs to be level with the centerline of the wheel but below the 150mm parameter

Or have i lost the plot ?

cheers

Get a big squarey thing and put it up against the rim at the front, the wing sits at this point then the rear will be on the centre line of the wheel. If the wing is too far round then it will throw stones and allsorts of other nasties that might be in the road up at you...last thing you want is horse or cow dump in yer fizzgog let alone a stray stone

Check out carlkight pic's, announcements. IVA pass. looks like you may be ok.

MarkB is right it sticks to a hot exhaust better than sikaflex.

Yuck

But APART from having stuff thrown up ( stones & horse/cow sticky stuff ) do my cycle wings position meet the IVA criteria ?

As thats my main concern at moment

Basically its a case of what is passable for the IVA verses the practical side etc .

Thanks for your help Mark, I appreciate it

cheers

Just looked at David 17 car who has had a test and no mention of failing on anything but a leak.

thanks Mike,
I,ve been looking at lots of pics from various builds & as you say....I think I,ll be ok for the test , tho may have to reconsider the wings position to stop sticky stuff & stones coming up from the wheels .

They'll pass fine Andy the way they are positioned, there's plenty of room on the wings if they are positioned with a bit of car.

Nice Template, very similar to the testers one.....Andrew
