Wahey Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I want to get rid of a wheel carrier & make it look like the superlight. How did you go about it? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Normuss Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Cut the "bars" that come out of the rear as close to the rear panel as you want, some have used pipe cutters, others a hacksaw, then off to Halfrauds or similar to get a couple of plastic caps to cover the ends of the tubes. Stick/bolt numberpalte to rear panel. The only job left is to re-mount the nemberplate light (legal requirement IIRC) above it. Seek forgiveness, not permission. Rules are for the interpretation of wise men and the obedience of fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prs Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I have just done this and I'm sooooooooo glad. The appearance is much better and of course you shed 20kilos 😬. Just remember to get an aerosol puncture repair thingy. I grinded the stubs off flush and then covered this with the number plate, number plate light is now re-positioned where the spare wheel bolt went through the rearskin. I had to spray my light to match the stripe but it looks fine . Do it. Phil S7SVN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Smith Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Brake way later than the the Seven in front, hit spare wheel carrier - it will come off and be launched through the air 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregory Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Graeme: I hope you're not talking from personal experience......... Reminds me of qualifying at Rockingham last year when I had not fully bedded in my brakes & I was following you (too) closely......... 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
