TXgringo Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Last night the yellow beast began it's new makeover. Started pulling the skin (smitty tape) off....AAAhhh..it was scary what was underneath guys!!. Turns out unless I duct tape the nose piece again I will have NO aero. So I was wondering if anyone had a used nose piece (without holes and missing rub strips) laying around or knew where I might get one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaner Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 MIKE, DUCT TAPE DOES WONDERS. SPECIALLY IN COLORS. CHECK MY KART, ALL THE UNDERSIDE IS DUCT TAPED FOR AERO PERFECTION. YOU MAY HAVE TO BUY A NEW NOSE PIECE,AS I SAID EARLIER,I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ONE AROUND. HOWEVER SMITTY MAY HAVE A GOOD ONE HE KEEPS INSTEAD OF SELLING WITH THE KARTS. JOKE,JOKE. SEE YA LATER,HAVE A NICE DAY BRIAN. BEANER................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big G Smith Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 The body work was perfect until Jim Mullins slammed me into the wall on the road course. I had to buy a new stearing shaft and silencer blocks. Plus a new roll of duct tape. Thanks again Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
