Rear Wing Protectors

[Alaskossie]

Bob,

 

When you refer to "spats," are you referring to the rear wing protectors, or to the rear wings themselves?

 

I was not aware that Caterham had modernized the left rear wing mold, to account for the fact that a cutout notch and a short left rear wing is no longer needed for a rear exit exhaust -- particularly now that with the Duratecs, the exhaust exits on the other side of the car entirely! Talk about resting on tradition....

 

Even aftermarket wing suppliers, in both c/f and fiberglas, mimic the CC offerings, and don't seem to offer a full-length left rear wing... unless I'm mistaken..

No. The wing didn't change. It's still the same as the S-3 Lotus. Only the protectors where made larger in 1996. There's still a left and right part, the left being shorter.

Give 'em a break, Duratecs have only been around a couple of years. Caterham will probably *shorten* the right wing to match the left about the time they're converting to some new engine line with the exhaust back on the other side.

Is it hard to put the venture shield product on?

My way of dealing with chipped paint on the rear fenders was to trim them as shown in the attached photos.....lots of rubber to bounce those rocks and junk back away....

Nope. Water/alcohol/soap solution and just work the bubbles out.
