Hey guys

Odds are it's been done by someone sometime,i'd like flip front that 'flips' back toward the front screen

It's possible right? Bloody awkward i'd guess. Any advice/pics please?

Thanks

Ooops,sorry all,found an old topic covering this,,,and gone right off the idea

[WillCarter]

Flip front going forwards might be easier?

[1275poorlyproject]

Will yes indeed,but i was never keen on the look,and bracketry(made up word) necessary

But having seen backward flipping versions,I think i'll pass

[WillCarter]

No worries, let me know if you want any pictures of the 'layout' of a flip front

Tread hijack.
Willcarter if you have any pictures of how you secure it at the front.
Cheers

[nicklouse]

nuts and bolts is best and have some fasteners on the bonnet.

No worries, I'll get some for you tomorrow

It’s not the wing to A-panel it’s more the front to keep it inline and secure. Cheers

I owned a Frogeye Sprite where the bonnet hinges up at the back and access underneath is a pain in the arse and your always worried the thing might fall on yo uas its really heavy (they do actually have a secondary prop to hold them up just in case.

 

As a comparison I had an Isle of Wight frogeye sprite where the bonnet hinges forwards like a triumph herald and access to the engine was fantastic.

 

Mind you I know what I would chose, a pair of steel wings and a front panel welded on in the proper way!
