It would be relatively easy to minimize the gap between the tire and the wheel pant fairing by the use of baffle air seal material riveted inside the wheel pant and cut so it just touches the tire. I assume this would help to reduce the turbulence that results from air flow in and around the gap. I'm interested in thoughts on whether this may produce a useful reduction in drag. I believe DanH has done something similar with siliconized fiberglass. Maybe others have tried this too. Is it worth the effort?
