Wings..........not the spicy kind

(1/4) > >>

inkman996:
I decided to try and make my own flood bar wings. I bought a piece of aluminum flat stock cut it to length bent it and simply used a rivet gun to attach. I left the flood bar edge proud slightly so I can still have the blade edge touch the mesh with out digging the wing in. Have not tried  it yet but i am sure it will work. I am going to buy a wider piece of flat stock for a little more height on the rest of the flood bars.

blue moon:
that looks pretty good!
The only advantage a commercial version would have is that they clean easier . . .

inkman996:
Yep but for the money no biggie its not me cleaning them lol. I might go fancier and do an extra cut so I can attach from the rear instead, that will make cleaning even easier.

Sbrem:
check for burrs obviously, but good job.

I'm trying to conquer floodbar issues too.
I'm reluctant to set my floodbar to give me a hard flood, for fear of roughing up the mesh.

So, I've ordered a Newman Hydra floodbar (from Calibrated's site).
It looks as if it has a much smoother edge to give a hard flood.

It could be modified... ala Inkmans mock-up to give a winged edge too.
Any Hydra users out there??
