I'm playing around with adding a splitter in the front of my car. How many dezus fasterners should I use on the thing to keep it on at speed on the track? I was thinking 4 or 5....
What material and or location should I weld the hangers/springs? Anyone have pics? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) Thanks, Bill P. |

DZUS.
4. Two out on the very ends.. and two towards the middle. Sometimes I use 5.. depending on where I mount the front cooler. B |

B, what do you use to hang the fasteners from the car? I've got the new welder from Home Depot to play with....
HPH suggested I buy their '75-'76 fg nose and fastent the spoiler/splitter to that....I was thinking of just getting strips of metal to hang from the car and connecting the spoiler to that, similar to my side skirts... Bill P. |

I also use 4 dzus fasteners to hold the splitter on.
2 at the ends 2 next to the cooler opening |

Tim,
What splitter are you running on your 914? I was going to make my own by adding fg to a low hanging SE air dam... Maybe someone makes one that I don't have to fabricate... Thanks, Bill |

oops I should have been more specific. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif)
I have the splitter on my 911, i dzused it on so its easier to remove so I can get the car on the trailer more easily, I have a IMSA front end on my 914 |

Frey racing and several mail order houses (Summit racing) sell a tab plate that has the received portion of the DZUS riveted to it. I buy these and fab from there. You can weld to the plate.. like run a small 1/4 inch tube to it and position it or bend it and rivet it to something.
I highly suggest the 75-76 front end with his air dam. 90% of the SCCA cars run this config. From there it is very easy to mount a splitter. Like this: B |

Actually... you might be correct.
I know his wife is the one closest to him... but the dark haired lady is a X girlfriend. She is the one leaning up against the 911 in the black and white pic (in his show room). B |

Thanks B,
I'll hit Frey's at lunch next week. Since I already have Bontempi's fg fenders, I might as well get the nose and spoiler to match....although the one he was showing me was more of a shovel nose...I'll have to ask him about the one in the pic.... Hey....UPS just pulled up...my adjustable perches must be here! Later, Bill P. |
