As I picked up my deslotted NSR Mosler, then spied its wing three feet down the track. I reflected that this was the third time the wing had been broken off, in so many weeks not by anything I had done, but instead from being run into at high speed from behind. I’ve lost count of how many other cars, I’ve seen which have needed their spoilers to be super-glued on over and over again.
Shelf queens don’t need body part reinforcement; race cars do.
What I came up with, is a simple solution, which should completely eliminate the possibility of wing detachment from an accident.
I chose a .026” wound D-string, drilled two tiny holes in the body just inside the spoiler supports, bent the string into a right-angle U-shape, put it through the holes, locked its orientation slightly towards the back of the car, and with multiple layers super-glued the base to the underside of the body all along its length. Next I clamped each string end, as it came up through the body to the wing supports, and with multiple layers of super-glue glued them firmly to the supports.
A little black paint is optional... the revisions are very hard to see even in silver...
You guys have been very helpful to me... HTH one of you...
