Hi All;
Don't you hate it when a part becomes NLA and prices for the few remaining items become insanely expensive? Well I do, but I really wanted these splitters for my restoration so I found one that was advertised as "NOS and BRAND NEW". The cost was $300 plus and then there was the shipping from Australia of another $75. Unfortunately, while never used, they were bent, warped, deteriorated, and cracked. So disappointed and completely unusable.
I still wanted these, so I bit the bullet and and commissioned the tooling to make brand new ones. But not just copies, but better than the originals. While looking identical to the period correct splitters in size and shape, I tested a numerous number of modern UV resistant rubbers, finishes, and densities. In addition, I went through all the 3M adhesives available to ensure the best long term bonding solution. And after months of trial and error, endless testing under all conditions, I believe I have put together the perfect combination. UV and solvent resistant, can withstand the full range of temperatures that any car surface will undergo, and unmatched long term holding power, but easily removed without damage to properly painted cars or the splitters using WD40 and a bit of care.
The Splitters are are about 38" long (970mm), identical to the Posany design, packaged well in a two compartment coagulated box, Poly wrapped, and with a 12pt card sleeve. The finish is a beautiful satin matt black that reacts well to most any silicon or rubber preservatives. Overall, I am extremely happy on how they turned out and they will look at home on the finest Concours cars to the fastest Race Cars. And for those who asks what do they do? The technical answer is that it creates a high pressure area as the air is directed over the car at speed thus creating downforce. But I just like the way they look lol.
I am offering these at $150 per set which I believe to be fair and more importantly, get these Long NLA splitters into the hands of fellow community members who always wanted them or have even thought of wanting them. I made enough just to cover costs, so once they are gone, I doubt I will run a second batch but rather be on to my next project.
