Just in case it is any help,
I have just purchased a new rear wing for my Van Diemen RF82.
I would be happy to take any measurements etc if it will help.
(I'm trying and alternative profile looking for a little extra speed)

What are the dimensions relating to the front wing? Pretty sure mine is non-standard. |

The only dimensional stipulation regarding the nose or front wings of an FF2000 is overall width which is 135cm. In side view, the wings or nosecone (or anything attached to them) must not be higher than the top of the wheel. |

Thanks, I will get stuck in with the jig saw next time I am home. At Kyalami I had a problem with one of the rocker adjuster pedestals coming out of the head, thread damaged and no way that I could see to fix it. Is this a Pinto problem or a once-off? |

They are a bit inclined to come loose if you miss a gear and buzz the engine. The threads do become worn, I lock them all in with studlock to be safe. |

Kent cams do an extra long stud which seems more inclined to stay put and has tge advantage of running in nice thread deeper in the head. cheers mark |

I would not relish having to change the size of the rear wing but yes, please advise of the width and maximum height allowed, I have now sorted the front one so may as well get it all 100%. I got a price from Burton for extended ball studs (which is not a surgical procedure) of GBP8 each + postage to South Africa. I am trying the car 1st October at a track day in Pretoria, if they don't come lose again I think I will leave them as is. |
