a pair of cycle wings for my seven project;

 

at least 9" wide.

I have some fiberglass ones that are light weight and are half a circle. It is very easy to trim with a air saw or bandsaw to the length you want. They fit the radius of a 25-26 tire.

There are currently two sets for sale on eBay (one green, one yellow), located in Sonoma, CA. Unfortunately, I do not know how to link to the eBay auction; good luck.

Which ones are you needing, front or rear ? The link to the ebay sale is for rear wings.

 

For front wings, I had some custom made in aluminum in California by a company called Fenders-N-More. I needed some fuller wings for the track that would keep the gravel, rocks, car parts, etc from getting thrown at me. One track day with my left forearm bleeding taught me the weakness of the 7's front wings. The aluminum wings cost me around $160 for the two front ones plus about $28 for freight to Florida. I told them how wide, what radius, what length on the radius and I wanted a double roll style, and they did it beautifully.

 

If you're bent on lightweight carbon fiber, you can get one aluminum wing made then make a fiberglass mold off of it to build your own carbon fiber wings. The aluminum ones I have are pretty light but nowhere near as light at the stock CF. I put the stock CF wings back on when not on the track.

 

Here is a link for the aluminum (or SS, or steel) fenders;

Jack McCornack makes fenders for the Locost 7 community and he might have what your looking for. Make sure you follow the contact info on the web page.

Here is a link to his web site.

I have a new set of Birkins that never made it onto my locost due the arch a bit larger than stock. Collecting dust. 12" wide.

For rear wings, did the Fenders-N-More company make models to fit a stock style 1996 Caterham? I want rear wings with the stock mounting holes.

Were your front wings the polished stainless?

 

What sources are current for carbon fiber wings, nose cone & half doors?

 

Which company makes the better quality carbon products?

 

Can I use carbon fenders & nose from a Birkin on my 1996 Caterham?

 

Thanks,

Fenders-N-More makes utility type fenders which can be used for the front wings. The rear wings on a Caterham are much more complicated and would likely be sourced from Caterham. The rear CF wings are around $650 each. I priced the left rear after I ripped mine off when I swalled a cone on a track. After getting the price, I decided to repair the damaged one. I don't know of any other source for the rear wings.
