Need to mention that I have made progress on my front wheel skirts and they should be on today

Pictures!






It is an simple design for testing purposes. The tabs are 1/8" aluminum bar pieces bent and drilled into the fender. They will act as stoppers to the skirt, keeping it from contacting the tire and hopefully making them flush with the fender. I have the tabs arranged in such a way that the front sits inside the fender more than the back. This leaves a gap that low pressure air can escape from IIRC. The skirts are nothing more than painted coroplast (have been repainted & they are my old rear fender skirts!) and aluminum bar. The bar is positioned to be the same height as the notch on the sides of the fender. This is where the tire will contact the skirt at, so I am using plastic cutting board that will be attached to the aluminum bar. This should provide a slick surface that will protect the tire and skirt while still being inexpensive

FYI, I will perform coast-down testing to determine any aerodynamic benefit when I get back from vacation next week. Hoping that they will put me in the 0.25 Cd range
