Carbon Fibre Boot lid

[snowy892]

Hi

I'm after a company to build/make me a carbon fibre boot lid and fit it, preferably in east Anglia. Has anyone got any details of companies that could possibly do this? something similar to  he picture.

Thank you.

Regards

Richard

You could try your local motorsports place.

I know these guys are not far from you and have done a lot of work with fibreglass in the past. https://www.mossmotorsport.co.uk

Hi Richard, did you make the one you have in the photo?

[snowy892]

I'm afraid not. Found it on the Internet lol. However it's exactly what I'm after.

Just so you know, the one you've linked to is actually wood covered in DiNoc Fibre wrap (think it was MDF from memory), and a great job he did too. 

 

Here's the link.

Thanks 'TableLeg' very interesting.

Kenton,

What 'items' do you use to keep the removable centre in place. It looks very by the way.

That does indeed look interesting and a fine job.

I made one out of plywood - painted not covered in wrap, I did think of MDF but was a little concerned about it's long term "damp-proof-ness" though I guess you can seal it before covering it. Nice thing about MDF is it's easy to work with and surprisingly light. I finally replaced my plywood one with a complete box / lid from AA Composites on here but I'm not sure he's still making things.

Hi Richard.

The front of the removable section has a pair of slots in it that slide under an ally collar on the seat belt mount

The rear is held down and in place with these Dzus slide fasteners.
