Hi

Have recently bought a rolling chassis which has been built 6 inches wider than the book, is there a nosecone out there that will fit or will modifications be needed??

Many thanx

you will need to check the front top section
because standard nose cones are 24" and robin hood do a 26" one
the chasis might be 6" wider but it might have a standard 24" front end
good luck dave blissett

Front top section measures 30 1/2 inches accross at the widest point

probably stuffed for a prefab one then. It is possible to buy one and cut it in two, and put a section in to widen it. Maybe hard to get smooth though.

2ltwin,

The Viento IIRC is 6" wider than book, so that may be a good starting point!

As Simon said, the only pre-made one I'm aware of is for the Luego's Viento.

I've no idea how tall it is though. Contact ChrisW about it as he's the only person I know building a Viento.

HTH,

James

nice! roughly how wide were your front top and bottom bars? about 28 and 17?

just realised mine may actually be similar to the book anyway. time to measure.

thanks!!
