ziplobb Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 is someone able to tell me what parts were used in the original Superlight to result in the achieved weight saving ? I know that there were the cabon wings, dash & lack of windscreen but am i missing anything ?

Horizontal Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi, Definately nose cone, wings and dash in carbon together with no screen, no paint, no carpets or interior panels and don't forget the ACB10 tyres.

Adrian M Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Also no seatbelts, hood sticks or wipper rack. Ade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted February 26, 2007 Leadership Team Share Posted February 26, 2007 No wiper rack meant that a bracket was left off the chassis. Oh, that must have been worth a few tens of grammes... MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Lynch Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 What about the front uprights ? Six Speed has Alloy housing ? No spare carrier (on most) Aluminium Radiator ? 1.4K SS 😬 here 'You've got be in it to lose it !' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham King Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Standard Superlight achieved approx 50kg saving over Roadsport by Carbon Wings and Nosecone No weather gear (Hood, Doors, Heater, Windscreen) 13" as opposed to 14" wheels Lightweight Tyres No spare wheel or carrier Composite Tillet Seats Six Speed Box (lighter than 5 speed) Lightweight Fly Wheel It also had an LSD, is this heavier or lighter than standard item? In practice of course a lot of them were specced with weather gear, heater and leather seats (including mine) so the actual weight saving is less. Think that is about it. Graham.
