Bowin P6 was a Formula Ford & Formula 2 class of race car which was designed and built by John Joyce founder of Bowin Cars. Formula Ford is a single seater open wheel class in Motorsport which exists in some form in many countries around the world Formula Two, abbreviated to F2, was a type of Formula racing. Bowin Cars an Australian designer and manufacturer of Motor racing cars from 1968 to 1976

Specification

CHASSIS: Space frame built to full 2 litre specifications, alloy stressed panels and finished in stove enamel. A space frame or space structure is a Truss -like lightweight rigid structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric Pattern. In a discussion of Material science, enamel (or vitreous enamel or porcelain enamel in U Incorporating fully detachable rear cross beam to facilitate engine maintenance with removal of engine and gearbox as one unit. An engine is a mechanical device that produces some form of output from a given input

BODY: Full aerodynamic wedge incorporating side radiators and self colour. Radiators and convectors are types of Heat exchangers designed to transfer Thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling Interior of cockpit covered in fully moulded seat and trim sections, giving an exceptionally comfortable and roomy cockit.

REAR SUSPENSION: Incorporating twin radius arms, parallel links, Armstrong adjustable dampers and fully adjustable spherical bearings throughout. A shock absorber in common parlance (or damper in technical use is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or dampen shock impulse and dissipate Coil spring unit mounted inboard with ‘Bowin variable Rate Spring Control’. A Coil spring, also known as a helical spring, is a mechanical device which is typically used to store energy and subsequently release it to absorb shock or to maintain

FRONT SUSPENSION: Double wide based wishbone design. In automobiles a double wishbone (or "upper and lower A-arm " suspension is an Independent suspension design using two (occasionally Armstrong adjustable dampers and fully adjustable spherical bearings throughout. A shock absorber in common parlance (or damper in technical use is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or dampen shock impulse and dissipate Coil spring unit mounted inboard with ‘Bowin Variable Rate Spring Control’

STEERING: By special Bowin lightweight rack and pinion, with energy absorb and steering column. A rack and pinion is a pair of Gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion The automotive steering column is a device intended primarily for connecting the Steering wheel to the steering mechanism by transferring the driver's input torque from Leather covered steering wheel. A steering wheel (also called a driving wheel or hand wheel) is a type of steering Control in Vehicles and vessels ( Ships and Boats

BRAKES: 9-3/4 inch disc and alloy caliper assemblies. The disc brake or disk brake is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a Wheel. Adjustable ratio balance control. Twin braking system, adjustable for length. Rear Brakes mounted inboard on gearbox to reduce unsprung weight. An inboard braking system is an Automobile technology wherein the Brakes are mounted so as not to contribute to the vehicles Unsprung weight. In a ground Vehicle with a suspension, the unsprung weight (or more properly the unsprung mass) is the mass of the suspension Wheels

DIMENSIONS: Wheelbase: 93 inches; Track: 61 Front and 63 Rear; Weight: 822 lb. Down to minimum Weight with twin cam engine.

CLUTCH: Hydraulic system. For the mechanical technology see Hydraulic machinery and Hydraulic cylinder Hydraulics is a topic of science and Engineering Complete up to and including release mechanism on gearbox.

WATER COOLING: By twin crossflow lightweight side mounted radiators, the deaireator control tank and pressure cap. Radiators and convectors are types of Heat exchangers designed to transfer Thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling

FUEL SYSTEM: Alloy tanks mounted mid-section of car for better weight distribution. Weight distribution is the apportioning of Weight within a Vehicle, especially Cars, Airplanes, and Watercraft.

ELECTRICAL: Lightweight aircraft battery, 12 volt. In electronics a battery is a combination of two or more Electrochemical cells which store chemical Energy which can be converted into electrical energy Starter solenoid, starter button and switches. A solenoid is a three-dimensional Coil. In Physics, the term solenoid refers to a loop of wire often wrapped around a Metallic core which Master battery control also fitted.

INSTRUMENTS: 0-10000 tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water and oil temperature gauge. A tachometer is an instrument that measures the rotation speed of a shaft or disk as in a motor or other machine Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of Pressure and Vacuum. A temperature gauge is a device used to indicate the Temperature of an item being monitored

WHEELS: Magnesium 10 inch x 13 inch front and 12 or 14 x 13 inch Rear. Magnesium (mægˈniːziəm is a Chemical element with the symbol Mg, Atomic number 12 Atomic weight 24

ENGINE MOUNTINGS: supplied

FINISH: All suspension parts are in new Bowin satin finish, other parts cadium plated and stove enamelled. Chrome plating, often referred to simply as chrome, is a technique of Electroplating a thin layer of Chromium onto a Metal object In a discussion of Material science, enamel (or vitreous enamel or porcelain enamel in U One tone body colour of customers choice.

TRANSMISSION: Hewland gearbox FT2000 Five-speed and reverse. Founded by Mike Hewland in 1957, Hewland is a British engineering company specialising in racing car Gearboxes Hewland were the first company Alloy adaptor plate.

OIL COOLING: Alloy oil tank, fitted with antisurge baffles and deaireator system, alloy pipes, hoses and fittings. Alloy oil cooler.

OPTIONS: Cam-adjustable Magnesium rack and pinion. A rack and pinion is a pair of Gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion Integral P. 8 Magnesium front upright and hollow rotating drive shafts on roller bearings. Stainless steel brake hoses. A brake is a device for slowing or stopping the motion of a Machine or Vehicle, or alternatively a device to restrain it from starting to move again Wings.
