ferny Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm certain no company has made them (I think John made his own). But thought I'd check first. So, anyone know of a source? I'm just curious at this stage as mine are good (enough) except for a crease some delightful person put in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heraldcoupe Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Fibreglass might not rust, but it does craze and sink. You get rid of rust, but potentially introduce other equally awkward problems.Adding lightness is a good argument in favour of fibreglass, but it's not the easy route to eliminating future maintenance/repairs that it might appear to be,Cheers,Bill.

piman Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hello Bill, as an owner of a Scimitar, tell me about it! I also don't believe that there is any significant weight saving, the basic door shell is not heavy, its the glass, regulator etc that adds the weight.Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.in_Lux Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Isn't the glazing due to the resin being cheapo polyester rather than epoxy stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69vitesse Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Judging by the dire fit of fibreglass bonnets, I can only imagine who poorly a fibreglass door wouldn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can you think of any old fibreglass cars which haven't suffered from sinking and/or crazing? Suggests that whatever materials might cause the problem, they are very widely used.Cheers,Bill.
