I’ve got some tire spats made up but need to figure out mounts for them... instead of using a flat piece of coroplast like last time I cut rings out of 8” thinwall HDPE pipe and then cut them in half for four semi circular pieces... the thought is to mount them so that some air is diverted away from the tires on both sides (pipe is wider than my tires are)... in theory using the rounded spat will work better than a flat piece, right?
