Here's a shot, it was almost dark out, sorry.

that spoiler does a good job at increasing the value to stock lids (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

at least you will have an effective air-brake for when you spin and go backwards (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

How about more details on the mounting bolts. I have a similar one that has some broken studs. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

This is an anchor with a 1/4"x20 thread.

Drill the hole in the underside of the spoiler.
Insert anchor and tighten screw. As you tighten, the fluted part of the anchor draws to the screw head until it is snug.

I backed out the screws and cut lengths of all-thread to fit into the anchors. Spun on jam nuts to set the thread against the anchor.

Better ways, yes. This was my quick way. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

If it comes off, I'll tell all.

Hey Trekkor, can you take a good shot of the Altissimo sticker on your car?
I'd like to add it to my gallery. I forgot to shoot it before they shipped.

Thanks!

I'm sorry Trekkor, I saw it right after you started the thread and didn't respond. I really like it. It was one of the features I liked back in the '70's. It looks good. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) It'll come off.

Sean, will do.

Aaron, why hate? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Sounds like most people like it. I'll admit it's not my favorite. It is growing on me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I hope it doesn't come off. It is very tight and does not vibrate or budge at all.

Forgot to tell you, I also used peel and stick weatherstripping foam under the leading edge. Good and snug.

Not to hijack the thread ...but... 9146R I'd like some info on your muffler, did you have it made, or? Awsome looking car BTW! Trekkor, I think that tail looks pretty sweet on your car.

Greg, tell us more about the spoiler you are showing.

I've never seen that through rear deck cooling.
Any more pics of that?

It is a neat spoiler. That is the only pic I have of it installed. The pic is a little misleading in that it looks metal and is actually fiberglass. Comes in 4 and 6 inch height. I have a 4 in stock.

Is it expensive? I'm guessing $465ish for the whole deck and spoiler.

To give you an idea the ducktail to attach to the deck generally goes for around $185 and this one goes for $195.00. The ducktail lid combination goes for $375.

That sounds like a very fair price. Thanks Greg.

That could be a nice alternative to putting a cooler all the way up front.

the one greg has pictured is on Richard Clewett's car, it's from Roger Sheridan. Roger calls it "SCCA Legal Rear Spoiler" on his webpage. Ultimate 914 Bluecar is destined to get one, they are nice pieces. My mechanic in LA has the original prototype on his race car, they are nice AND effective.

Trekkor, that car is a turbo 6 and very, very customized. Richard is one of those smart engineering types. His work is phenomenal and is a very nice guy.
