Wtb Rear Three Piece Spoiler

[Gordo]

Hi guys, would anyone have or know of where I can get a rear three piece spoiler, bobtail for 240,260z same as this on my red zed,

If this is for the race car maybe a whale tail as an alternative? As the were used on the early 280ZX race cars I suspect they gave more downforce than the earlier bob tail type, Porsche used them too I think. Way less drag than a big wing too I'd bet.

Alha or Topstage dont have the molds for those?

 

Many many years back, G&S Fibreglass in Planthurst st Carlton NSW had these, and lots mre, they sold out, but someone grabbed all the popular Japanese molds. No dea who, maybe Alha may know ?

I think Alfa has it, it looks like the same one as on the racer, but he glassed it onto my car, rather than bolt on

Marugen Shoukai are one of the best makers of FRP parts.

Thanks guys. I will give Alan a call at Alfa fibreglass . Richard is on to it. Thinking of taking the wing off and trying the rear spoiler. My revs are down on the main straight due to to much drag. I might even unbolt it to see what difference it makes.

I can see what you mean Tom. And this would have little drag.

You can also modify a Group C RX7 Birdbath to fit a Zed. My old green car had one, but was pinged for being too big for Marque Sports.

 

It certainly worked as Turn 1 at EC was flat to the boards all the way through, and when you came off the track the back of the car was covered in crap from the track being sucked up onto it from the low pressure area behind the car.

I think member Biscuitballs sell them

This is a copy of the Works Style rear wing.

Think this appeared on 240ZR's first.

Yer that's the one Gav. I rang Alfa Fiberglass today and he has the mould. Will make me one in the next couple of weeks.
