[EGLITOM]

Chuck, Randy, as Ron mentioned in his build log, the day has 24 hours and need for sleep is overestimated ( currently i average 5h). Chuck it is not an optical illusion( you have an sharp eye as well). THe tirediameter is app 1 3/5 " smaller than for example the AVON CR6zz 295/50/15. (see tirelist onby) , so to close the gap towards the tire i had to extend the fender further down, but on the track i plan to use DUNLOP CR 82 or the MICHELIN TB5 and they are in a range of plus minus 1/2" in Diameter of the PIRELLI.

RON: Yes i will do negative moulds of this flares, because i intend to have a clean ligthweight solution, so i will cut away all the foam crap and fit nicely the positives out of the moulds. The moulds will be done in EPOXY resin, so the should be very rigid and less prone to shrink and distortion. The positive parts will be made with high quality woven glass, with a material incorporated to dampen stone chips ( and avoid there imprint on the outside) probably done with vinylester resin ( like the original RCR). They will be white gelcoated. The moulds i will makes by myself, but the positives will be laid up by a pro ( usually does prototypes and development for DAIMLER AEROSPACE and DAIMLER BENZ , guess where the SLR seats come from ?), so they will be very high quality and hopefully fit pretty good.
If any other RCR customer is interessted i would have him making copies for them as well. If more people are interessted i would talk to FRan if he would like to do it and send a set to him to copy.

Chuck BTW. We don´t give them names, because they will end up in a pan at xmas ;-)
