The Superbird Wing Was Not "Idiotically-Ineffective" or "Dumb"
That's just it, I don't know the answers.
But I'm not afraid to admit that.
I look forward to seeing the answers, so I can be better informed.
After all, this is a discussion forum, isn't it?
Ok, here's what I can remember:
I believe that the vertical wings and the horizontal are aluminum, they seem lighter than steel.
There are two metal brackets coming down from the wing on each side of the trunk in a triangular pattern that are bolted to a welded on flange to the trunk floor board. You can shake the whole car by just using the wing, they are so stable... The race cars used to let three girls sit on top of the wings after the race...
The wing was approx 2 feet off the trunk so I will go with 24" height.
distance between the wings - I've never measured and don't feel like doing it right now (are you talking outside-to-outside, inside-to-inside, or center-to-center?)...
The length and with of the vertical wings is an invalid question as they are wider at the bottom than the top, so their is more than one answer. -trick question...
How much the wing weighs - I don't know. I've never had mine off and also won't do it just to win a trivia question. - at least the state fair gives out free pencils...
If I remember correctly there are two bolts at the bottom braces for the wings that bolt to the flange at the bottom.
I've never looked up to see how many are on top, but I will guess that there are two on each brace at the top...
Due to the fact that our main set of keys for the car may have been locked in the trunk (don't ask - kids) and I'm waiting to find a spare set somewhere, I can't go look at this time and do not want to risk using a tape measure near the car that may scratch it.
