Just done it on my B44, took 5 mins, just take the wing mounts off, line up with the lower bolt hole, stanley knife off the desired amount and pop a longer bolt through and job done!

With the wing mounts resting on the shock tower brace it feels fairly sturdy but I may do what Sleigh has done and put some small 4-40 nuts in the wing mounts.

I am going to fit a brace between the two wing mounts, a bit of a chassis post from my AE L4 12th car and a couple of bolts.

I'll post a pic up once finished, I'll race it next Wednesday and report back

Here we are guys, pics as promised: As per my other post, longer bolts through shock tower brace, cut down the wing mounts and made a brace from 12th chassis spacer and a couple of blue washers.

Well gave it a run last night, didnt break and car seemed to jump well and seemed balanced in the air.

The jumps were not massive so probably not a fair test but so far so good.......

As said before the wing modification was done after the Worlds warmup because of the big jumps and the random gusts of wind at finland.
Excuse the grubby car.

What advantages does lowering the rear wing have?

Cheers

I don't think that this modification would really change the handling of the car.
If it would do so, then i think the World Campion 2011 would also use the wing mounted low- but Cav didn't.

Probably it's just a personal thing and more about the looks...

But cavalieri had a 6" wing instead of 6.5" that most others used. Maybe the wind and big jumps was not such a big of an issue for the narrower wing?
