[Posse]

iam just having a mad one you would of thought in this day an age that they would be illegal

[Twinkle]

stop moanin and buy some

[tim]

unless u are havin a proper roll caged with with door bars dont fit them,as u wont have no protection if u had a crash,after havin a bad car crash i would i would rather have metal door and glass fibre 1s

 

dont know what the legal side of them are for road use

[Posse]

stop moanin and buy some

 

there on order lee

[bomber1]

what about reliant robins and simitars which are all made of fibreglass and no cages

[S2 Dee]

Scimitars were all g/f if that is anything to go by, same with Jensons. Nothing on the Smith and Deakin web site that says they are not road legal either.

True enough but I think Posse has that covered judging by his post!

[Baz.]

No offence m8 but only the CV8 (and I think the 541 ) was a glass body.

 

I've got an Interceptor sat in my garage thats made

from heavier gauge steel than my escy.

 

It's even got the rust to prove it

Isn't fibre glass really hard to align, just wounded as i want fibre glass. Steel does seem safer (kids and all).

I hate decisions.

it is emma but if you have got a good mould to work form i think your sorted

[bozie]

fiberglass is good but hard to make the finish look as good as the car body

Give me the interceptor

[Retromotorsport]

I'm not 100% sure but most grp doors on production models had steel bars connecting the hinges with the lock.

 

Personally from my experience i would lighten a steel door, they can be lighter than the GRP ones, and dont crack at the windows, also they lift out at high speeds so you have a gale whistling in your ears.

 

If you have good door shells then you can get an alloy skin,

[Rick]

weld in some door bars, would be an arse to get in and out though for a daily car

tell me about it fiba glass is a nightmare to align and look good , but i managed it

[60ftman]

Quality and fit of the doors rely on the quality of the mould.

 

Check out the doors (and for that matter wings, bonnet, nosecone, bootlid) on my Escy. All 'glass. (strangely enough, all of the glass is plastic!)

 

The doors need re-aligning now, but that's only cos they've been off the car for ages and stored badly!

 

Go fibreglass - you know it makes sense!!!!

Where can you get alloy door skins from and how would you fit them?

I sit corrected!

[Onyx Dave]

Ex press steel panels do alloy door skins but there not cheap.

You fold them over like normal skins and bond them instead of welding them.

[BIG G]

you building some kind of light weight special with all these grp panels.but a hell is very flexible with no doors fitted just jack a corner and open a door. but fook all that on the 1/4 mile no bends there....
