waffle boards
lambert:
Is there an ideal ratio of waffle length to wheelbase? Ie is it advisable to be able to get both axles onto the board or does that make life difficult?

There usually between 3'6" and 5' mainly because there made in approximately 10' x 5' sheets So unless you drive a mini It's unlikely that you'll find one long enough to get both sets of wheels on. Unless you order an extra long set.

Now just to set this straight, I am not saying that d44 waffles are or are not off cuts. However I was left with some questions having looked at the waffles on you stand, and having more pressing issues to deal with at the show, I didn't bother asking about them there.

What exactly do you mean by sealed edges? all the waffles I saw on your stand had the distinct raised and ground down markings a long one edge the same as other suppliers waffles I saw at the show, though ground a lot neater than some others.
Were these your propper waffles?
If they were molded to shape in a dedicate mould, why are there what apperared to be "off cut" markings?

Did you ever get an answer to your questions??

Its not easy when you have information which you cant use which would kill this thread dead (but i like my job too much to get fired for using it :roll:)
The whole point of my original post was that not all waffles are the same.
This point has been argued till blue in the face but it still seems that some folk fail to believe that there is more than one company that produce them.
There was talk of one company claiming they use off cuts and supply *most* of the 4x4 retailers in the uk.
I'd like some proof that this company claims to be supplying Devon 4x4 because if they say they do, its untrue
Unfortunetly i cant provide proof to disclaim this as it would reveal where in the world ours come from and would lead the competition to their door.
The only thing i can now say on this is look around competitions, talk to people that win regular and talk to them about waffles and where they get there's
Listen to the people that use them professionally and see if they like to waste money on cheap off cuts
I'm sure this will roll on and on but i cant say any more than i now have.
Over and out.
:)
