Right i need some polycarbonate appx 500mm by 740mm by 4mm , times 2 . i,m in Birmingham 19,20th and Poole 24th July . Any bright ideas would be great.
-
fit the wipers and washers before any thing else. sponge is appx 40mm dp on 1/2 inch and 20mm dp on the fan. very spongeeyy.
-
Just a thought , the rear wing cappings look good for a safe edge and stiffener for the plastic windows and i have some spare ones .
-
Cue the music, how hard can it be . I have a rebate plane , can travel.
-
Thanks for that , I was thinking of sliding side screens like an MGA , but how do you make them.
-
I was costing perspex at 4 mm it is 32.00 euro for 36 by 24 inches, but thats in galway ireland . what is the uk price.

So std door is appx 17.45 kg , glass is 4 kg , cut away door is9.8 kg , perspex 1.33kg .New door weight 11.13 so saving per door 6.32kg, car total saving 12.64 kg . 28 lb in old money. The same as going on a diet and loosing two stone . over the last 2 months i have lost 1 stone on my diet so the car will be 3 stone lighter . or 42 lb,s
-
just checked the weight difference perspex (SG 1.19) / glass ( SG 3.0 ) so perspex is 1/3 of the weight of glass, appx .
-
Still thinking , I quite like the idea of steel doors with side screens , the biggest weight seems to be the glass and gubbins.
-
a bit like this
-
welcome aboard i,m going to make a pair of these doors from some old ones left over.
-
Oh come on somebody must have noticed how heavy these doors are . OK last idea for now summer doors fixed and low for your right elbow , in and out like the Dukes of Hazard COOL!!!
-
Has anyone weighted a std mkiv spit door or two , total weight for two doors is 5 1/2 stone . when i drive my car I have my door windows up for 90% of the time , only down on very hot days. so maybe std doors minus gubbins and plus side screens. or t6 doors plus side screens . last idea is make a spitfire door like an early mini door with a big door pocket .

i painted my car a dark colour partly because i thought the panel gaps would be poor , my car was in bits when i got it stripped to the chassis,with doors and bonnet that most people would have binned. my plan was to make a solid car out of poor parts and in time if the car found use ,get a set of doors and bonnet later .
-
it looks like the bonnet will adjust but wondered if there was a good way to do same.
-
it looks like the other gaps will not be too bad , i wondered were to start .
-
i have a big gap drivers door to bonnet not sure were to start,

looking at the chart dimension 8 17.375 / 17.250 should help for a cross check
