Just measured my rares spoiler. Fold point B is 20mm back from the front corner.

and this Rares Spares one is folded from A to B as Mark has said:-

Rares may have changed the design slightly since I bought mine over 18 years ago.

That's what I was thinking Dave,

The one there is from Brisbane. Dave I

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just looked at the Rares Spares Website,

and it is the same as the Brisbane one being sold,

so they have changed and we will need to let them know hey

Sounds Good Aldo,

We got to get the Air Dam right first, and then move on to the Fasteners. Dave I

the metal is said to be steel so far, so is the original soft and dents easy, or is stone resistant

Doesn't really matter Dave, they still won't be identical to the original without changing a few other details.

As Kockum said, the genuine spoilers have holes not slots for the four bolts along the face mounting flange and Aldo's measurements are spot on.

Just got back from a trout fishing expedition , so will put images of NOS part that is the last one of three I bought from a Holden dealer years before rares started making their painted steel version tomorrow .

 

Fasteners I still have so will include them while I am at it .

[N/A-PWR]

That will be Great D.

Bolts are 1/4" 20 UNC X 5/8" long.

Very nicely presented D.

Now we have the XU1 Specimen.

I like how you covered all dimensions and Weight. Dave I

[Kockum]

No probs TORYPOWER .

[Kockum]

Anthony I don't know the answer but if anyone can confirm I would bet on it being  Aldo .

[N/A-PWR]

Hi KRIS,

Now the wait and see Hey.

That one is nailed, and now the next subject. Dave I

[XUI-86]

Except for the "C", it looks like the same bolt they used for rocker cover bolts before being chrome plated.

Hi, good info. will need to replace mine.........1 day.

 

How close are the xu1.com/brads spoilers?

Hi Jono

 

Just had a gander at the pic of Brad Merrick's XU1 front spoiler on his website. Looks to be a lot closer to a genuine one than the Rares Spoiler.

 

Cheers

Dave.

Yep CK,

we don't want the Future of XU1's looking like Datsuns hey

I've got a flat pattern for an air dam at work.

I copied it from an original NOS item

I'll check mine next week..
