One of the most attracting features of Seven-type cars for me are the cycle wings. Those fenders fixed to the hub/wheel-carriers which turn solidary with the tires while cornering. The original brackets are heavy and the PVC cycle wings are located quite high above the tread. You can buy very light carbon fibre cyclewings, but you have to design and build your own brackets according to the wheel carrier and tire width. The pic shows the trial fit of some carbon silver fibre cycle wings. They are paintable and I will decide later on whether I coat them yellow or not. Attentive on-lookers may have noticed that the car now wears Toyo Proxxes R1R up front as well. The dimensions are 195/50R15. The 45 section was not available for this tread which gives me some more space underneath the oilsump.
Cheers.
