Diy - spoon duckbill lifter (spacer)

Disclaimer: The following is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, and neither myself nor Ozhonda take any responsibility for the outcomes of someone else doing the following. You follow these steps at your own risk!


Aim: Lift the Duckbill up to get an agressive look
Difficulty: Not very
Required:
-Socket set
-Rubber Door stoppers x2 $0.80cents each or something
-45mm Bolt with M6 Thread $2.50
All can be bought from bunnings for under $5

Depending on how much you want to lift the spoiler, there are different sizes in door stoppers, i went with a 35mm one which will lift it 35mm.
Bolt size depends on the spacer size, it should be at-lease half a cm longer to get it into the thread of the spoiler.

Only space the 2 rear bolts, you can also get the door stoppers in different colors.

It should come out something like this:

Thanks for having a read.

nice idea, can u get a shot looking from the rear straight to it?

instead of door stop, u could cut some fuel hose and washers, it will get the same result i think?

Yeah, ill get a photo up sometime soon, with the fuel hose they are not really sturdy and will collapse over time and you’d be using a lot of washers to get a noticeable lift in the spoiler. I went with the stopper cause its solid rubber and rubber has flexibility.

best DIY.....

very detailed.

LMFAO was thinking the same thing, this thread is like a recipe book with pictures of finished dishes and a list of ingredients.

It needs more... photos..

still no photos or more information

Interesting using door stoppers wouldn't have thought of that. Would have thought you would have done the same as Viinh in the EG with teh spacers but suprising how that works. Good job !

Could this also be done to lift any wing?

Just wondering, how did you remove the old bolts and install the new M6 bolts under the spoiler? I can't seem to take out the bolts.

Cheers
