Best Fibreglass rear spoiler for Mk 2 Escort

[crusey]

Hi guys,

Am looking for a rear spoiler for my car. Am interested in a good fitting, well made product rather than the cheapest (unless the best one is the cheapest!).

Would love a carbon one , if anyone has a spare (wishful thinking!).

Thanks.

Are you looking for fibreglass version of the factory rubber spoiler or something a bit more modern?

I have fibreglass version of the factory rubber spoiler $80 incl post

Thanks for the reply guys.

Daz - how much was the CF one landed? I see they are £135 before postage. UK has most expensive post ever!

Danny - that was my plan. I sourced one but it is so poor fitting that I can't possibly fit it to the car. Where did you source yours from?

Avon - will check out the first two then give you a PM. Thanks.

Mike Conway had it and it was cheap so I grabbed it but I had a guy who makes alloy sports and race car bodies to make a frame underneath to mount it the same as a standard spoiler and he also made it so I can bolt a Gurney Flap on the back, but I've had to have a couple of goes at the ends as it does have the same radius as the corners but I've just about got it now

[crusey]

Thanks Danny, sounds like the one that I have. A guy had a go at the ends but would need another go/goes. Good idea about the inner bracket.

Dan do you think you could fit a gurney flap to the CF one?

[Danny M]

Which is the cf one

[crusey]

The carbon fibre one by custom carbon.

It's could be done but it wouldn't be as straight forward and you may stuff it's finish but Steve King would be the beset one to answer that as I used the alloy one as it was relatively straight forward needing nutserts in the rear edge and the mounting frame and a coat of 2 pack satin black

im just waiting to get hold of a perfect fibreglass one
to take a mould from , then make some nice
clear coat carbon fibre ones
ps
ive just done some mk1 & 2 carbon fibre bumperettes
equal to the custom carbon ones
without the huge freight cost from uk

Hi Steve I'd be very interested but am on the clock as have a meeting in November, when do you think they would be ready?

[Cam]

Put me down for a CF rear spoiler please Steve. Complete with matching bootlid would be good too.

Hi Crusey, I have a mould for a mk2 rear spoiler that I made back in the 80's that is the same as an original but has an extended blade but with work and play commitments I dont have the time to make a spoiler. The mould was made for a friend of mine who was a designer from Ford Broadmeadows who rallied a mk2 back then. The story goes that he got a spoiler from Ford uk works department that had been developed to provide more down force than the original. He asked me to take a mould off that and a few other bits and pieces so I could make replacements for him if needed. I used to make a lot of panels and bits and pieces back then. Most of the other moulds have been lost or discarded over the years but I hung on to the spoiler for some reason. If you can find someone to make one [without destroying the mould] we can come to some arrangement. Call me on 0418 539 861 if you like.
Cheers Peter

Thanks for the replies guys.

Dan would you be able to do me a favour and take a photograph of the trailing edge of the wing? I've looked on the website but there is nothing close enough.

Peter, thanks very much for the offer. I'm just researching fibreglass places at the moment. Will be in touch shortly.

Thanks again.

Hi Steve,

Any update on the carbon rear wing?

Otherwise I'll have to order one from O/S...

Cheers,

Michael.

Thanks Gary, I was actually chasing a pic of the carbon one. Mine's def the same as Danny's. It's all food for thought so thanks for posting.
