Velocity Nose Pictures

Has anyone got any pictures or can't point ma at any pictures of a Velocity nose cone fitted to a book chassis. I ask because my chassis front 'ears' poke out from it slightly (see other post) but after trawling all sorts of sites I see that its not all uncommon but the bottom of it doesn't cover the bottom front rail either. Would just like to see how people have got around it.

This is a Velocity nose cone fitted to a Velocity.

Yeah it does that and it doesn't reach the bottom front rail by a bit as well. Looks a bit unsightly to me. So when they say it fits the book chassis thats not wholly true, it fits bits of it. Humph Oh well

Thats how it fits mate. Iv got velocity nose on locost chassis. Fits the same as on velocity chassis. The ears poke out and the bottom doesnt reach.

That ali strip at the bottom of the nose is my bracket. You dont notice it when its on.

My ears don't poke out, modified the nose to cover them . Can't post any pictures at the moment as camera is US .

Chris, i think pretty much all book locosts stick out like that, thats why for example on the gts plans and the new "book" they are squared off, not seen any other chassis so carnt really comment on them.

Yeah seems so after looking mate. Not to worry then. Just to add though, Luego's service was excellent, very helpful and polite and came packaged excellently. Thumbs up
