Carbon panels

[aelred]

Hi,
I have purchased all of Simons Banbridge hilclimb car body molds.
I am in the process of negotiating prices in respect of manufacturing carbon body panels (vacuum formed NOT wet laid).
The available panels are:
Front wings
Front bonnet
Doors
Part Tailgate (original hinges retained)
3B cambelt cover
some others also available.

As you are aware these are mainly designed for weight saving and they might not suit everyone, ie: the bonnet uses pins, doors will not have electric motors etc.

If anyone one is interested I can email pictures.

Tim is well aware and happy that I have bought these moulds

Love it Aelred - can you post pictures, weights and approx prices here? I love the thought of a lightweight S2 (if such a thing is possible). Can't afford it like, but I'm dead interested !

aelred, are bumpers part of this group of molds?

Maybe?

[NoNonsense]

Maybe?

i think "front wings" means "bumpers".

[rotoryboy]

front wings aka fenders, bonnet aka hood

well aelred we will have to keep ex simons car intact,can you do the whole tailgate in carbon,this one is i,m not sure if simon gave you the mould,even the rear spoiler is carbon...........tim

anyone actually felt the weight of the coupe tailgate and glass? wholly crap! that thing weighs a ton, just changing that and stripping the front doors would make a massive weight difference.
Nice one

I have enclosed a picture of the car. Unfortunately it is only a front view.

Simon told me that the carbon doors are 22Kg lighter, I assume this is for the two doors.

agreed...it is really heavy. I've also lifted the tailgate on an S2 rally car, though, and that was fiberglass, which helped a lot. It had p/ns but I couldn't find it in the family album....

Another picture of the bumper on a road going S2.
