Making a wcs93-esque car from a '94

Hi Guys,

I recently created this car on a YZ10 94 platform, it's a carbon 94 (soon to have TCS) painted by SrD - the red/orange wing is temporary. I have the 'proper' wheels and wing en route courtesy of Asa and Cedric :)

So after speaking to my mate DerbyDan and various facebook messages with Naushad, Cedric, Asa and Hugh I started going through my parts bin last night to see just what I had in there:

and a rear lower bulkhead that would need modifying as per AlexB's thread:

Image

My goal isn't to have a pure wcs93 but rather a car that I can run that looks like one - once I cut the wheel dots and get the wheels/wing fitted it'll look pretty damn cool if I do say so myself but the rear end will bug me.

Naturally I am on the look out for a wcs93 GRP rear tower, camber link plate and top deck - I think I pretty much have the other stuff I need from my YZ10 and 870c boxes? I'm probably going to use a FibreLyte chassis but can't decide whether to get the Masami version or not that Dan made possible for us.

All advice welcomed.

Cheers,

Dan

A friendly 10talk member just gave me the link to the FibreLyte page where I can get the towers, top deck and other parts - thanks :)

Is the wcs93 front shock tower wildly different to the 94 one I have fitted?

So many questions!

Alex B where can I find the machined bullet style wing mounts in your pic? Are these like A&L ones?

They came with a B3 I got from eBay so I don't know the manufacturer. They have imperial threads which suggest they are from an American company.

Alex, what kind of wing buttons are those? I'd like a set like that for my gold Optima. :)

Handed the bulkhead to the workshop at work today as they have a milling machine - should get it back later :)
