not to my certain knowledge

suggest you do a search or make one - a simple one is very easy to make

search here for tail tidy and you will find plans and all sorts of solutions


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...

If you bend the tail tidies around a bit and drill enough holes in your bodywork they'll all fit eventually :smt001

Crickey even i made one!!

Drilled, corner 1 meter length of metal from B&Q and some extra bending, it's worse thinking about it and easier when you actually get on with it

if you come to the leicestershire meet - even if just a flying visit, then you can have a look at a couple of home made solutions - I can knock something up that works from two right angle brackets from B&Q.... works easily, and takes twenty minutes to fit

only downside is working out a way of doing the indicators - I have used two holes on the sub tail mount for hanna's - easy job
