Love the inverted swirl pot....
Off the shelf from Torques!! Holds about 1.5 litres, will be perfect I think.Originally Posted by boffer8
Hmmmm just proof of concept, seeing if things will work
Looking good.... how have you spaced it down from the bumper?
How far back does it go?
Spaced down about 60mm, from front to back it's around 400mm.
We plan to add an aluminium sheet onto the chassis brace to create a flat floor under the engine bay next
It'll do for now

Sorry mate!!! Misread your question
These posts come down from the valence support bar we made you can see it here at the bottom of the pic
We also made some rear supports that come from the tie bracket vertical bolts and translate across to the inside of the wings. I'll try and get some pics of those next time I remove the splitter.
Not Ben and I hung off the front and rear mountings and there's no flex in them at all so pretty happy they're strong enough.
Looking good, and glad to hear it's been built strong.
When I ran my Escort Cosworth in hillclimbs, the well-known aerodynamicist Simon McBeath had a look at my front splitter and told me that if it wasn't strong enough to stand on, then it wasn't going to work as it should. It wasn't as strong as that.
About 10 minutes later it tore off at about 100mph......

How are you going to vent the bay then if you close off the floor? will you not suffer from air stacking?
Brackets look really good, i like how it protrudes forward yet you have the support still

We'll see, we're planning on adding a central vent in the skirt above the splitter to blow directly onto the manifold, that air should exit between the brace and the chassis as it's not sealed there. I've also not got no upper bulkhead lip where the original wiper mounts and the air that comes in the front past the radiator can exit out of the vents below the screen
