The "storm strip" on Theo's Quest is only about 18mm on a side of the triangular section from reading the rough Google translation of the original pages. The original trial appeared to be a piece of insulation gasket material with the adhesive tape. It's not clear if the Dutch experimenters tried various heights or not. I wonder if a higher section MIGHT be more effective (but more unaesthetic).
Vetter's fence on the tail of his streamliner is 1" (per Vetter) high. It looks to be a piece of 1" aluminum flat stock from the local home center.
As I had said earlier, I wish I had a streamliner to experiment on.
