Are you looking at the 432-R's standard tailgate prop? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick-on lead wheel weights with extra security of duct tape over the top? Pretty standard racer habit, even today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Dezart Posted January 7, 2020 Share #104 Posted January 7, 2020 Yes, I suppose I am but why leave that there after drilling so many holes ? Just unbolt the thing ! The hatch is being held up by a broomstick anyway. Never seen one before - looks like a bonnet prop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this picture very disappointing. The haphazard alignment and uneven spacing of the holes points to poorly thought out construction and poor craftsmanship. Sure the body is lighter, and well above the center of gravity where it counts, but is it as strong? How much chassis flex is attributed to that mess? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding lightness. Stress testing and/or torsional rigidity was probably the last thing on the shop boy's mind when his boss told him to get some weight out of the bodyshell. All that is - of course - nothing to do with Nissan. It was done by a privateer owner when the car was no longer this years' race car. And frankly, I've seen worse...
