Gloucestershire AR Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I cut a slot in the nosecone (scary...) then araldited them to the inside of the nosecone. Looks neatest but you need to measure and cut very carefully.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 To quote a Swedish CSR owner, "they will add at least 50g of downforce", the official Caterham blurb for the CSR wasAerodynamicsAerodynamic improvements have majored on the face of the famous Seven. The introduction of re-profiled cycle wings, which are mounted even closer to the tyre to cut drag, and a new larger nose cone complete with a floor mounted chin, have combined to reduce the front end lift by 50 percent. The net effect for the driver is a major decrease in high-speed understeer. But no mention of the winglets, there are several claims that the winglets help with understeer, but can't find any proper tested numbers, but they are carbon therefore they must work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucus72 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 All cats should have whiskers. Primarily used to aid navigation around tight obstacles with your eyes closed. When you feel the whisker, you know your touching (bollard / fence / wall). Should work well for you at Cadwell Park Craig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
