Winglets / Canards fitting

[maurice1]

Hi

Anyone fitted the Caterham type nose winglets to a Birkin. I know how to attach but just wish to see where people have positioned theirs.

Photos would be great.

I installed a pair onto my old Birkin. I will post photos and comments when I get to my computer.

Before I drilled any holes or took any measurements, I covered the sides and top of the nosecone with blue painters tape. After that I placed one of the canards on the side of the nosecone and figured out a position that looked best - nothing scientific. After finding the optimal placement, I drilled holes in the canard and nosecone. I used a cloth tape measure to determine locations for the holes I would drill for mounting. After that, I replicated the hole locations on the other side of the nose cone. Before drilling holes, I mocked everything from the front to see how it looked with both canards on. Once satisfied, I drilled holes on the other side and mounted everything.

Thankyou for posting the pictures Mike? and also how you went about fitting, like you how they look in position will dictate where they are located.

Cheers
