Polycarb Rear Window GB 2011\. + Weight reduction discussion
-
could always just buy the polycarbonate sheet and cut it to the profile of window yourself, be an easy peasy job
-
Yeah rob, was piers. Was hoping to get over and try out mondello and have meet up but car hasnt moved much in last two years!
-
well there is always a room here for ya! i'm about an hour away from mondello, there is a guy goes by the username of houls69 with a 1.6t and there is no better sight than him ripping past a teg r down the straight!
peirse has cut a stupid amount of weight from the car but is running a standard engine and management in the saloon libre class.
i can get fibreglass doors made up for €250 in which the you can save roughly 25kg per gutted door bringing the door with perspex to a total weight of 10-11kg :)
-
cheers for that Rob, i like lightened track cars, but I like knowing what it is from the inside, kinda like a GT3 RS. Its stripped but not OTT. Fibreglass doors sound good, ive only ever seen a full fibreglass kit for sale on mx3.com, wings, bonnet, doors and tailgate. It sold almost straight away. Was about 6 years ago tho!.

Mine arrived today too!. Also haven't checked yet but notice there is a label marked report damage within 7 days so that's the deadline if you want to check them.
Just rob still waiting.
Also need some photos for website if anyone wants to volunteer. could be future discount on persex sliders !. :)
-
just opened it and it looks great very happy thanks garfy
next thing how do you fit it lol
-
well their website sells siloflex, whcih keith ( djmarcopolo ) uses on his boats so you can either get some online or tap keith up :D , rob was talking about riviting it in, but im not sure how that would go??.
I was just going to try and find someone who works for the likes of autoglass and lives local and wave some cash at them !!.
-
well mine is ment to be as light as possible so a thin bead of silicone to keep it water tight and then alu rivets all around it.
silkoflex is a good option but tough to use unless you have a good caulking gun.
-
i still have to remove the glass. i would suggest to all that got it not to leave it standing or lying flat for long as poly carb can sag if its not supported
i have mine sitting on the rear hatch.i'm going to take the hatch off and thake the glass out of it in the back garden.
i just need to buy some alu rivets now
-
i did wonder if it would deform ? mines sitting inside car at moment as its all stripped out !
I thought you already had glass out rob from previous pictures?
