I use them if the rules permit (SCCA-No, PCA-Yes)

This one is "Ok"

I cant find a pic of the one we normally use.

OH.. I have this one in black Gel coat (for sale) 60$ and 20$ goes to the Dave (Korijo) fund.

You have to drill your rear lid.. We normally have two lids for the cars. One with the spoiler and one without. Both painted to match the car.

Go Kart, the one that racers use is usually from Sheridan.
You can see it HERE

Do you guys have anything between the spoiler and the trunk lid? The one I have has some old funky rubber gasket type piece. Ay ideas on a replacment, if it is required?

It seems like it was used to help seal out water and to help hide the uneven botom edges??????

Cheers

Mine came from PP without any gasket. I added some double stick tape so I could position it and hold it in place while I screwed it in. I think it should be glassed in to look right.

The white car is not my car, it's from the Sheridan web page.
www.ultimate914.com

It is a race part, not something I would use for daily use.
Most of these (that I have seen) are pop riveted in place.

I always kinda like the adjustable nascar style one a few of the racers around here run. Not sure who makes it.

I was going to glass mine in but decided it would see alot of open/close action and crack the paint.

I guess I can do some glass work and get a matching surface for the spoiler.


I just about sanded my arms off this weekend on only one of my flares...Ouch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
1 down 3 to go..then it's off to the paint shop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

Thanks

Um .. Gokart...

You listed a wanted ad for a OEM Style .... there was no such thing.

You have 2 choices. The one I posted and the one that Roger Sheridan sells. Roger sells a 3 inch rear spolier and a 6 inch rear spoiler.

aufaber,

That is the 6 inch Sheridan spoiler. The white car above is the same spoiler but 3 inch.

Roger gives a discount to club members. He stocks nothing and makes them AFTER you send him the money.

Seanery,


The Sheridan spoiler does get riveted on, but the quality of the spoiler is head and shoulders above the first one I posted. It also fits the rear lid perfectly (because Roger made the moulds using a real decklid) The other doesnt fit worth a crap and rattles loose with time.

Here's one I just installed this weekend. It's a little more radical but it's on a track car. The spoiler and rear lid are one piece and fiberglass. The whole piece sure is a lot lighter than the stock one.
