Ems Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Is there a template or measurements available for the fitting of a 3 piece coupe spoiler? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I've got the original Irmscher papers with measurments, give me a moment to scan them. I remember there was something with the measurments in the middle of the trunklid, but I can compare that with my cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to have these i have an original 400 one for mine and would be keen to have the measurements Side pieces are the same but centre different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Sorry Crazydave, Photobucket has got a will of its own. Back on topic: don't begin to drill, I'm gonna check the measurments with the real thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-400 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 This is the other side of the paper, those Germans still love the eagle... I served 8 years in Germany and I had to keep those papers in my car (together with all the papers of the modifications). When I checked both Manta's I found one trunklid (the GSI) that was redrilled, but both cars have finally the spoiler on the same spot. To measure it is impossible because the spoiler is fitted, but the space between the redrilled holes is 2 cm, so I think the 150mm on the paper is actually 130mm.(the distance 150x in the centre) When you open the the trunklid and look to the inner frame, you see on top two holes in the frame. my both Manta's have between those two holes a drilled hole to fix the spoiler. And one of those Manta's is an originally 400. If you want I will take a picture. (Info: look to the Irmscher-picture: the centre rib is equal with the fold of the trunklid) I hope my English is readable... Grts, Herman.

Ems Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Thanks for the information Herman, I can check my boot now as the spoiler doesn't seem to fit correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I think it was more than 25 years back that I ordered (In Germany) a brand new one. When I wanted to fit it on my Manta (with the installation guide above) I noticed the spoiler didn't fit in the holes that I drilled. I phoned to Irmscher and they explained it to me how to install it correctly. Both my Manta's have a drilled hole between the two holes of the frame. I think that is a good reference. Don't screw the nuts to tight, it deformes the shape of the spoiler. (had again problems to paste the link of photobucket...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
