possibly looking for some sheet metal work....

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Mon Dec 13, 2010 2:53 pm

as my exhausts like to munch on huggers - and yes CF will melt when kept close to a renegade system - I started thinking about getting a hugger made in metal..... obviously would not have to be sepecially strong as its main job would be to just keep crap off the undertray, but any one any ideas on a company that could do such work?


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Yes, but you're talking mega bucks for that sort of work.

Pete - a fabricator friend suggests having a look at a hugger/mudguard for a Harley, and seeing if it could be modded - much cheaper.

Yes! just the mod Pete needs to complete his masterpiece!

As it is, he has to carry an RAC card with him on every journey

The hugger on the old RSV arm isn't all that complicated is it?

IIRC it's all straight lines, or does it have a curve on it, I'll need to check.

straight lines on the base, but curved angle over it
