yellowss7 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I know the UK seven guys complain that clamshell fendered 7's have too much lift, but the photo below demonstrates that the rear wings can also become airborne if you hit a cone. :ack: Good thing it's only fiberglass. Plastic bolts facilitated the launch but saved the rivenuts and side skin. :cheers: Tom http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/316759949_Warminster 073.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/2005085254_Warminster 07 4jpg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Budlite Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Tom. Could have sworn I had tried McMaster-Carr before, but I must have missed them. My Birkin has M6 bolts, but they have those too! Thanks, Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
