Bass Junky Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hey ppls. Some people may know about my plans, other probably not. I am looking at making up replacements for the standard R34 GTT wing mounts. hopefully these will be the same as the GTR so that I can make them for both. Anyway, I've finally got a sample to look at (Thanks to GTTR34) and I must say I'm both impressed and terrified. Impressed becuase they are sexy from an engineering point of view on the inside, but terrified at the work I have ahead of me to make the damn things. I've taken some pictures of the wang and it's mounts to show you the anatomy of it, both for wow factor and general interest. SO, check the photos. You can see that the mount is actually 2 pieces. The inside section has the studs which attach to the boot. This also is the strength of the thing. You can see the long barrels and webbing. This bolts in the boot and the underside of the wang. The outside section is almost purely cosmetic. It attaches to the wang via two screws in the top of it. There are no screws in the bottow. You can see in the underside of the wang that the bolts go in on two difference planes. I was hoping that it would be just one plane and easy to reproduce but boy was I wrong. What I was thinking was going to be an easy meausre up, model and produce is going to be a lesson in thinking that you can do it better than the manufacturor! Anyway, where theres a will, theres a wang and I will not give up. It just might take me a little while to come up with something. I hope this is interesting to all.

Bass Junky Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 I actually just had a thought about the thing. I could somehow make up a mould of the underside of the wang, and then transfer that into a casting pattern and cast the top section in aluminum....... hmmmm Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/61932-the-anatomy-of-my-wang/#findComment-1168139 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I have my wang mate so you can still work on the GTR one. I NEED it! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/61932-the-anatomy-of-my-wang/#findComment-1169153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJR 34GTT Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 This might be a silly question, but why do you want replacement mounts? Simply to replace the stock ones if they get damaged? Or have you got some ingenious plan? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/61932-the-anatomy-of-my-wang/#findComment-1169282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Junky Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Two Reasons. One, to get the wing right up there in the air flow for Snowy so he can get some bonafide downforce from his standard GTR wing. Two, Looks. I like the aluminum uprights look. Three, Looks. I also like the look of the boot on a car who has removed the wing but still has the lower mount brackets in place. Looks 'race' BASS OUT Also, I need another Group buy to play with.
