Aluminium sheet / Perspex door cards

Is that not corex? Looks like it to me. Ok door card material but i wouldn't use it as a splitter, It would just fold uplol
Cuts like butter on a CNC though

 

Yes it is but if you cross laminate it it's rock solid two or three layers thick
At 3 layers thick it's only 3 kgs per square meter

Also it's heavy grade corex not thin rubbish lol industrial

Just had another thought I've got a hot glue gun that I bought black glue sticks for you could shape the edges with that to make it tidy

 

You want a 3mm foam board like foamex really

 

Mike, would you not run your splitter under the engine a little? Most plastics on the car don't get that close to the engine

 

Funny you should mention foamex again. Has anyone looked at the material properties of it? It's made from PVC which emits hydrochloric acid when burned. Very bad for you and have heard some horror stories over the last few months. I have just bought a laser cutter so am reading up on plastic properties at the moment. You should have seen the flame i had off polycarblol

I would be tempted to use a bit of 3mm polyprop embossed. Would weigh less than 3kg each and have a nice finish on the face and edges. But then i did spend 150 on carbon fibre cardslol

 

Mike, I deffo want some of this stuff and am willing to pay

I am on a mission at some stage this week either friday or saturday. Am going to Leeds to see competition clutch maker to have him make me a twin plate clutch

I can swing via your place first and pick up few sheets

I also want to make a three piece rear spoiler to cut down drag on back of Lupo

 

What do they make inlet manifolds out of ?

 

I'm not in work Friday or Saturday busy lol I'll pm you with my number and you can call me in the morning

 

It's not as rigid as this stuff and PVC gives off noxious fumes when burning polypropylene doesn't just smells like candles lol

 

Mmmmmmmmmmm laser gun niiiiiiiice lol shame you're in pigging Bristol

Right so I recycle industrial waste plastic so often get thick sheet off cuts polypropylene and hd polyethylene
Sometimes bits of acrylic ( Perspex ) and polycarbonate sheet .
So you guys with lathes or mills can give me a shout and we can look at different materials for bushes etc

Sorry but paid members only guys so if you want some cheap plastic pay your 10 and give me a shout

Long live club gti [>:d<]

 

Let me know how much for 4 door cards that Ian can bring to Curby.

 

The sheets stand me at 60 p each so that will be 2.40 sir lol I'm not going to get rich selling at cost am I lol

 

Why bother replacing stock door cards at all when they weigh nowt....

 

They must weigh more than 500 grams ?

 

I guess so. Carnt help think time would be better spent elsewhere though

 

Mine are knackered, and I can't be bothered trying to find a decent pair. I refuse to do aluminium as that's heavier, and carbon is daft money.
This seems a good compromise.

 

I'll take 2 sheets if possible Mike! Willing to double your money and offer 2.40 for 2 sheets, giving you a 200% return!

lol

 

Have got enough for a sticker yet?lol

I think I'll stash some in a corner and maybe one day I can sell enough to get a club gti sticker for the back of my track car lol

 

I'v been to see Mike earlier and collected fair few sheets lol

I'l begin experimenting with it this w-end
