Hi,

I am currently investigating the different spoiler options that were available throughout the dc5 range in my computational fluid dynamics course.

I am trying to track down the dimensions of both the type s (bootlip style) and type r (high mount) spoilers.

The crucial measurement I am after is the angle of attack of the type s and type r spoilers. Also required are the height of the spoilers and the proximity they are to the bootlid.

Failing that would anyone have an absolutely side on picture of the type s of which I can make measurements to the spoiler and scale it accordingly? Or any absolute square on pictures of the rear of the dc5 so I could measure the height of the spoilers ?



Your help is greatly appreciated,

Nguyen


P.S. There are no dealers with a type r or type s for sale in close proximity to me.

Interesting assignment.

Im sure if i get extremely bored tomorrow i could take some height measurements etc seeing as i'll be out working on my boot install anyway. As for FULL site on pics, just let me have a search on my photos and see what i can dig up.

Yep side on like that.

I have various side on photos of type r's however I am having trouble tracking down some of the type s.

I would be very greatful if you could take those measurements for me!
