Paul Thompson Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 Due to the amount of waste left my horses on the local lanes I am contemplating fitting an undershield to make cleaning up easier. Has any body any else done this if so how ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 I have made a couple of skid/sump plates for the drysump K . To protect the sump pan from bottoming out on road or kerb and also to offer some protection to the front pulley system . Made from Ally Kickplate - weighs 450grams and mounts on the front chassis rail , OS engine mount and NS unused engine mount . So far 6000 miles of trouble free use , and has saved the sump from contact several times teeth.gif. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stig Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 It may make the engine bay a little warmer I suppose but this is not really critical on a 7 compared with some other car types. Would you be covering the tunnel and rear too? Ali that is thin enough to be light is not very resistant to gashes by sharp objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Len, Will your future product offerings cover the Vx aswell as K-series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennie Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Yes. I should own up but I think the best seven ever made was the JPE so the Vauxhalls will not be forgoten. Remember that Gary May engineers Martin Stewarts 750 championship winning car so we have both got a soft spot for the VX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennie Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 We originally tried to smooth the airflow under the car but have found that with some mods 'we think' we my be able to generate some downforce under the car. We have come up with some bits that can be to bolted on with out any mods to the chassis but we have not tested yet. The idea is that we get the suspension right first for a datum lap time and then we can see what effect the aero bits are having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
