I bought a 415C 4 months ago. (I love this thing!)
Trust me, you don't want to add any weight (wheel pants or fairings) if the
benefits from adding it are not very clear. This will become very evident
when doing your weight calculations trying not to exceed gross, with two
people in, fuel and reserves. It gets very tight!!

Welcome to the group
Is that the coupe that was owned by Peter Berry? Very nice. I had the
pleasure of a ride in her with Martin Robeson. I have a couple of pictures
if you want them.
I am based in Melbourne and are restoring a 415C. Work has prevented me
from doing a lot over the last few years but I started things moving
again. Happy to discuss the various snippets of info I have gathered over
time. Wheel fairings is one item I know absolutely zilch on. I do know it
does nothing for performance. Looks great though. Have you got enough
weight margin on yours? I noted it was fairly well equipped so you may be
looking to save weight rather than add to it.
The group is great in bringing together all the knowledge on Coupes out
there. For us in the Colonies is gives us access to the very large Coupe
knowledge base in North America.
Mine is a 415C with C85. I am aiming at keeping it very light.
Regards
Brian Garrett

Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] Wheel Fairings for 415-D
Hoping for some help here - I'm rather isolated here in Australia, about
to become half-owner of
a beautifully restored 415-D.
I have noticed pictures of several 'coupes with wheel fairings. I
emailed UNIVAIR, but they don't supply them.
Any guidance on their merits/drawbacks and availability would be much
appreciated.
Cheers
