front splitters available? may have a solution but need pics!

[Mike K]

Someone want to make a splitter for me? I just can't justify paying the ridiculous amount they are asking for the saleen ones.

Its probably lighter than 3/4 plywood though

 

[Roadracer350]

Its actually lighter than the sock FR500S unit. With the beefy mounts I am making it will probably weigh the same.

Will do and my bad, late to the party here!


Sent from my SCT X3

EDIT: Any chance you could make one that's a bit smaller? Closer to the APR one?

Just because, its timely to find, Here's the post with the pictures.

Roadracer, How long does it take you to make one when you get an order?

 

[jmauld]

, I would get the new lightweight 302S piece.

Any idea how much lighter this piece is?

I might attempt to make my own and if I do I'll shoot you a PM

Good deal. Keep us updated in this thread or your build thread.

6lbs, there really isn't much weight to save as the stocker is lighter than it looks.

M-17757-MB $329. Check Fordracingparts.com. Someone said Rehagen Racing is selling them for $289.

Yeah that was me on BMO. I had inquired about it before ford racing released it and thats what he told me.

 

[Roadracer350]

I took the stock FR500S unit and boxed it for more strength.

What material did you go with? looking good so far.

 

[zquez]

1/4" ABS. It was about 100 bucks for the sheet. The sheet is big enough to make two and change. I thought about getting all fancy with alumalite and fiberglass or something similar but decided that'd be too much trouble for something that is likely to get damaged. ABS is cheap and easy.

 

[Mike K]

Gotcha. Is it done yet? lol. Post pics of the final product.

Oh I intend to. I'll probably create a new thread when I finish. I'm still debating how exactly to mount it but I have a pretty good idea. It'll be done in a couple days.

A teaser...

 

[Mike K]

That's going to look great. Id be afraid I would rip that off on the street or pulling in my driveway.

 

[Roadracer350]

That looks good! What did you make it out of?

I quoted his answer of when I asked.

 

[Roadracer350]

Sorry didnt see it. Im thinking ABS may be a little flexable? I may be wrong..
