This kind has the full rounded loop top on the lawn edging. I'm going to use it to make a small nose spoiler that stops at the same level as my cross member... But my plan is to make a nose pan that mounts to the loop of the lawn edging going back to the cross member.
I've never used lawn edging, but it seems to me that one could slip welding rod (pieced together tip to tip) or lead solder (sucked through with a vacuum cleaner?) into the edge. Welding rod would resist the air pressure and could be bent back to shape after any impact. Solder would add less stiffness and more weight. I'm not sure which (if either) would be worth it. Old coat hangers for the best ROI.

I'm curious how you will attach the front edge of the pan to the lawn edging.
