Thanks - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Excited for the next video! I'm going to follow along and build my own splitter!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Straightforward, to the point, informative and funny
Thank you for this awesome diy series! Can't wait to make my first plywood splitter
Fantastic! Subbed
starting to get into this for my cobra. I just want to smooth the airflow under the front part of the car mainly.
Cool vid. Subbed
If you guys decide to produce a 10mm alumalite splitter for a CT9a, I'm in!

So I understand needing some thickness for an aluminum front splitter, but do you need the same thickness for side splitters? I was thinking of using like .041 or .063 6061 aluminum to make some side splitters for my e92. I'm more interested in the benefits if keeping road gunk off the side of my car but if I'm going to put all the effort into building something nice I might as well to it right
Are you referring to side skirts? The area below the doors of the car, parallel to the road surface? The forces aren't going to be extremely large there so you can go with a thinner material but you still need to be aware of flex. Once aluminum gets too thin it will wobble so get a couple of test pieces and see what you think. My guess is you won't like .041.
Opinions on steel splitters?
Hey do you do development still? I'm looking for under aero for my 16 camaro ss race car

@@ProAwesomeRace great thanks
Nice video! How do you bond two panels of 6mm alumalite in opposite directions together?
Construction adhesive made for metals. You also need a lot of pressure.
You could also laminate thin aluminum to corrugated plastic making your own composite.
@@jdcarguy1242 yup that's an option as well.
Wow #jensentungol foodvlog and car
Just bought a car to get into time attack, the carbon honeycomb. Who sells it and what should I look for in quality and structure content?
There are many carbon suppliers, so it might be worth searching locally. Maybe reach out to the folks at spagesport.ca/ to get their opinion on structure as we don't construct many carbon splitters personally.
Fiberglass?
Do you have a favorite source for 10mm alumalite sheets?
Where are you located.
I'd recommend looking for outdoor sign and plastics companies first.
@@ProAwesomeRace Asheville NC
@@mattcolley5124 I have a list of main distributors and it doesn't look like there are any in Asheville. The closest is Piedmont Plastics in Charlotte. You can try them or call local sign shops.
Any tips on alumalite sheet suppliers in Ontario, Canada ?
Ply wood isn't cheap anymore 🤣
