Ah you say it's easy to make, but my previous experiences with polycarb have generally resulted in it cracking and being fubar. How did you shape it? Super fine hacksaw blade? Chain drilling?

I used a scroll saw, but you should be able to do it with a fret saw.

That looks a neat job. Hopefully it will reduce the turbulance.

Nick.

How about TechaNick?:idea1:

....... or does that sound too much like a type of plastic building brick!?

Barry.

really looking forward to your road test Nick and if you say its a good idea i think the forum should get them made and start selling them....!!!!

Excellent job Nick. :clap:
Any chance to post here a rough drawing with measurements-distances, in order to copy your idea….?

Andy,

The best i can do at the moment is a scanned image:

http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/Turbstop.jpg

I have an A4 scanner, so there's a bit missing, however it's supposed to be symetrical, (mine isn't) so the missing bit should be the same as the other side. The largest dimention on mine from side to side is 303 mm.

I'm not sure if that image will print out to perfect scale, but it will give you a good idea of what I have.

I cut mine oversize and then cut and sanded it to fit........not the best solution, but it's ok.

If I ever get the time.....doubt it !! I was going to draw it properly and output it to my CNC router and cut it properly, although I need a proper cutter for plastic, the last time I tried it wasn't a pretty sight.......

If anyone starts selling them, I want 25%........ bigwink

Nick.

...CNC router .....woowhh :hello2:

i was wondering this morning if reducing air input from there could have other consequences.

It may cause turbulences for some people, but in other case, blocking this entrance can create a "vaccuum" drawing the rider forward.

It looks very cheap to built...One can try it and if it creates problems can through it away at once....

Anybody working in the aerodynamics field in here....?:Itching_KFKKYE:
