Ribs anyone?
I got the ribs back from a local panel shop who put a slight bend in the tail.
Attaching with some Sikaflex adhesive and 6mm rivets, I'll wait until the Sikaflex dries and stitch the rivets through the internal and exterior ribs.https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...017/03/750.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...017/03/751.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...017/03/752.jpg
Oh that will make the rivet counters happy[wink11]
They will also help with directional stability at high speed much the same as on a Nascar
So we are going to see the county racing NasCar [bighmmm]Quote:

I think you may be inferring that I may not be able to achieve a high enough top speed for the aerodynamics of the ribs to come into affect.
That puts to bed my spoiler idea then.

I've now Sikaflexed them to the original and will go and watch some people smash their cars up at Patrolapart 2017 winch challenge while the glue drieshttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...017/03/565.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...017/03/566.jpg

I'm not really happy with the result, the hip line has now raised and the shape of the radius along with the poor welding on the gal. But I'm not pulling it apart.
