Irrelevant Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Here........ok not cheapo things, but cheaper than CC. Fiberglass ones come on now and again - I've seen various ones. You could do an advanced search for completed items that may show who's making them. Edited by - AdamHay on 1 Jul 2007 09:04:42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeE Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I think they're made by these guys here Quite like the thought of a set of close hugging CSR style wings.... PS the clue is in the fact that they're advertising their website in the eBay advert R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Quite like the thought of a set of close hugging CSR style wings..Making the wingstays is a barsteward of a job . . . . far easier convincing yourself they look carp and sticking with std ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeE Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Do you have these Adam? How do you go about making the wingstays? I thought I'd heard somewhere that the CSR runs wider front tyre/wheels with different offsets? I like the idea of a bit more front end grip so would be interested in the wider wheels which I guess means making some new wingstays so I might as well have the CSR wings at the same time 😬 Any idea how easy it'd be to achieve all of the above?

Irrelevant Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 MikeE - I have CSR wings on mine . . . They look awesome with 8" slicks underneath but a bit sh1te with standard 185 road tyres on 6.5" rims. I made my own wingstays to suit my own 8" fronts. Making wingstays in simple enough . . ..you just need metal (I used 4130 chromoly), a welder, a grinder, and time. Then you just build the stay so it holds the mudguard in place. Tack it up insitu and then weld fully once you've taken it off. I have some new Caterham CSR wingstays if you choose that path and want to save a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeE Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Adam, I'm interested in more front end grip AND the CSR wings - you're in Camberley right? If so maybe I could come over sometime and take a look? cheers R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 You know where I live . . .. I'll probably be tinkering in the garage most evenings, and I'll certainly be in there tomorrow (Monday) night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeE Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Thanks for the offer Adam - can't make tonight though as I need to butcher my new Quaife box to get it to fit the Raceline hydraulic clutch actuator - need to cut the input shaft sleeve of the gearbox with hacksaw apparently 😳 R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
