kenton Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 Hi all, I'm looking to finish my Carbon make over by replacing the tub as its the last bit of fiberglass on my car. Apart from Christoph who only does the FW body what are my options? As far as I'm aware there is no ZK in carbon available. Does anyone know different or know of someone who might be tempted to go into production? I'd be happy if it were in 3 parts, ie rear and sides. Any suggestions welcome. Many thanks Kenton 1
Gary Taylor Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 Hi, short of going bespoke I don’t know of anyone , perhaps speak to mofast as to feasibility . I ended up carbon skinning my tub
kenton Posted September 5, 2022 Author Posted September 5, 2022 Thanks gary, skinning is an option but id much prefer not to. Christoph did say he would consider it if enough people comitted to ordering.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 They’ve been done. I’m trying to remember the name of the company that made the last ones I saw, but it must be the best part of twenty years ago now. They we’re German, I’m sure - though nothing to do with Christoph. Thing is, the full carbon body is always one of those things that loads of people will say they want, right up until they find out the price. I love Christoph’s full carbon FW, for example, but the cost, while a bargain for what it is, is just too much for me.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 Remembered; it was Mog Racing, I think. They are still around doing carbon for Caterhams, (now under the Westerman (sp) banner). It’s remotely possible they may have moulds still. (But they don’t advertise Westfield parts on their site, you’d need to contact them and ask.) 1
