I remember a thread a long time ago. Can some one tell me the benefits of raising the rear of the btoom. Do you think it would have any effect on air flow over engine lid, in a positive way?
Opinions? |

I don't technically think so... I know some spyder 914's in vintage that run no rear window. but when I was contemplating this... I had a picture in my head of a carb fire I once witnessed..... thats when I decided to go with the rear window. I could imagine a big ball of flame with my head and neck 12inches away. I do think it would be less wind drag with the rear window out though. brant |
