Mazdaspeed GTC Wing

I have a Mazdaspeed GTC wing with out the correct risers. Anyway. I will pay anyone on this board to take one off their car, trace it on paper, put little dots where the holes go and mail me that peice of paper. I dont know what a fair price to ask someone to take 15 minutes to do this. I guess $20.00 for the inconvience seems fair, but I dunno.

It is killing me. The risers that the guy sold me are 6" higher than the Mazdaspeed ones and fugly. I couldnt even drive the car with them on it. Even my girl friend's gay roomate who doesnt even like cars made fun of it.

Now I have the holes in the trunk lid where the bases were mounted covered with duct tape so I can drive with out rain getting in. It is so lame.

HELP!! Thanks!

Questions

You just need the aluminum stands, not the other mounting pieces right? I'm not sure if your '6 inch too tall' stands mount in the same manner as the original ones?

I might be able to do this tonight for you. I can photograph the tracing on graph paper with a specific scale so you can reproduce it yourself and we can avoid using the mail. Or I can just mail it to you. Whatever you want.

It is just the aluminum stands that I need. The original owner took the originals and basically made them really long and increased the angle of them a lot (supposidly for 200mph performance ). The other mounting hardware is still original Mazdaspeed.

If you can put it on graph paper with a scale so that I can print it the right size and take it to a machinist that would be awesome!! You could prob. just take a pic with the actual riser on the paper with a ruler next to it and we could extrapolate the size from that. That might make it easier than tracing it.



Thanks!!

Ok here's the pics. They're not perfect, but hopefully they're good enough:

Click on the thumbnails for a larger version. (600-900kB)




I aligned the bottom right corner to the grid, and the bottom edge of the stand itself is straight. The overall dimentions are 11" by 7.5"

Let me know if you have any questions.
