+4 noses?
thekafer - 11/9/03 at 04:39 AM

I read somewhere in my travels that somebody sells a ready made +4 nose.Does anyone know who this is?

I really like the way the Birkin S1 nose looks and had convinced myself I would make my own +4 nose that had the same lotus 49 formula/seven look.

Now I'm finding myself dreading the whole process.

Even if I count my labor at minimum wage(the way my employer does)the nose I'd make would rival the cost of most nuclear submarines.

$150 to $200 is money well spent to avoid the hassle and expense.

anybody? Fletch

Lolocost do a +4" nosecone.

IIRC Darren of GTS Cougar spoke about doing a run of +4" bodywork. Apparently his GRP is very high quality.

Cheers,

James

I was trying to think of some amusing alternative I could poison your mind with, but failed. I suck.
