    Fiberglass boot project

    Rite everybody...

    I am halfway through producing my mould for my fiberglass and carbon bootlids.

    Its taken a lot longer than i thought. Hoping they will cost £150 each and produce a nice weight saving for anyone that fits them.

    Just a skin so far!

    If it wobbles too much when i pop one out i will renforce with balsa wood or foam or similar to keep the weight down but get some regidity back into it.


    Will take some pics tonight.

    Andy

    why bother with these when i can already buy them in fibreglass done for

    Weight 5.00 Kgs
    Price: £139.83 (€ 206.95)
    including VAT £20.82

    from fast car. the carbon ones maybe buy the cost might be prohibitive.

    well its a rought price.. im sure i can price them to beat that!

    yeah no worries...

    (any news on the studs ;))

    The boots are for me to play with and the main venture is bonnets and other clio bits in carbon.

    watch this space!

    i cant give away all my ideas!

    more likely to be door cards.

    Doors are too hard to fit etc etc.

    yeah but andy will have to deliver his at 150 quid also. i was just stating that it would be better to concentrate on carbon or bits that weren,t available elsewhere.
