specs for wing on FED
wideopen231:
Been thinking on setting it up so that the top where it covers the roll cage has two air vents .Then running the rods that go from front of strut to the chassis thru them,if not for brain fart I would know the name of it.
Next trick will be getting the main strut thru lower section of body. Maybe above lower wheelie bar mounts.Im not crazy about fastening to top of cage. Trying to look at safety also in case of. Maybe after body work is mounted I will get some brain storm for mounting it.
Yea the traditionalist are going to hate me. Oh well. To me racing is look like buildimg custom Harley do what you like. Just have few rules with racecar and non with Harley.Some will think awsome some will think POS. Plus theme is NEWSTALGIA. 4 bolts and no wing.
Getting the drawing board out right after coffee.

Just playing with idea of how to mount wing.
The angles are working for me but still figuring on how to get chute body to work with it. In rendering I posted under give me your opion post.It was mounter to top of cage,not crazy about that incase driver gets stupid and flips it over or something of that nature.
Van:
A rear wing on a FED of any real downforce MUST be mounted in front of the rear axle, mid way between motor plate and rear axle would be best. With wing behind the axle you would need a major amount of wing downforce at the front axle to counter the cantilever effect. If you mount it behind you, I suggest you keep it small & at a somewhat neutral angle.
George:
Are you serious ? A wing behind the driver on a FED?

Really not that bad of an idea . I would like to hear what Roo's thought's would be about this . I don't think it would have that much of an effect on the front of the car but I do think it would make the car more stable at speed.
