talk to dmpsk8 he has a custom one

 

Just make one outta 3/16th plexi. Not hard at all.

 

I just might, im such a noob though I never fabricated anything myself, i do have a good idea how to make it stay on, where could I pick up 3/16th plexi these days, home depot bB2ner ? o yea, someone else recommended to try black delrin, i never heard of the stuff , but I will look it up

 

Either Lowes or Home Depot carries it but not sure on the sizes. Most glass places carry it too. Make the templet outta cardboard and transfer it over once you decide on the final shape. I made mini splitters for mine once using this method and they worked fine. It will be slightly more difficult tho on such a large piece so take your time when making the pattern. You can use tape to hold it in place when making adjustments. Not sure where to find those adjustable external support things tho. To mount it under the lip use some self drilling 5/16" screws.

 

I made one out of aluminum and polished it up real nice. It looked great, but dug into a steep drive on the way to NOPI '06 and ripped the whole front lip off. If you make one, make sure it is out of something flexible.......



Good luck!

 

Ouch!

 

X2Wowzers that sucks bad. Guess being too low makes those splitters a bad thing. That's crazy.

 

Still debating what to use in the splitter, nothing too strong. . yet nothing too weak, and how to go about cutting it . . The 1/8" inch aluminum seems too heavy , someone mentioned to me something called black delron never heard of it

They might have sai Black Derlin. it is some form of plastic something like plexi but not the same.

 

mine are plexi

 

Home Depot in the hardware section (screws/bolts/etc) they have multiple sizes of turn buckles.. I mean even little ones that would fit this application well.. Thats what I'm gonna use..


I am going to try to use this piece of 1/4" ABS sheet I have.. if not I have the plexi as well...

 

some folks have used diamond plate also

 

You could also try using Masonite (hardboard) with the shiny side up and paint it whatever color you want. It cuts like thin plywood and would give if needbe to road hazzards.

 

hmm cow catcher

 

hmm I stuck , I designed the splitter it looks awesome out of cardboard, but I do not have any real tools accept a hand saw and hack saw at home to cut the 1/8 inch plexiglass , Im worrying if I be the piece and ask home depot to cut it they will look at me like im crazy, any suggestions ?

 

You could always buy your plexi from a glass place and ask if they could cut it out using your cardboard templet and see how much extra if any they would charge. Then you would only have to finish the edges with some 250 grit sandpaper.

 

sounds like my solution bB2ner, thanks for the advice, theres no shot home depot or lowes would do it for me thought ? I duno if they would,
I was thinking the hardboard masonite because I could cut it , I wonder how it would look, within the next couple of days I will have something.
