[Spridgets] Boot lid and spoiler

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

Hi List,
 
My new boot lid has just been delivered.  The lid is a new steel  frame, 
skinned in aluminium and incorporating a spoiler based on the design I  tested 
in the full scale wind tunnel.  It's seen here placed rather than  fitted 
to my car for a photo before I get it painted.  It weighs in about  230 
grammes less than a steel lid without a spoiler but after painting I'm  guessing 
the saving will be about zilch.  Short of my unexpectedly having a  large 
sum of spare money  it will be several years/never before I can have  it 
tested in the wind tunnel.  However, in the light of the 4 tests I made  with the 
'mule' boot lid and spoiler its very likely to put 2 mph on the top  speed 
and reduce lift by 30 lbs at the rear.
 
Regards
 
Daniel
