Dan Baldwin Posted September 17, 2003 Share #13 Posted September 17, 2003 Losing at least 20 lb. (Les' hood, he says he can make 'em lighter still) that is forward and somewhat high would be great! Dunno if it's worth $600, though. Aw, hell,why not! Think I'll give him a call today.Dan Baldwin Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/7193-cf-hood/?page=2#findComment-50019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBombay Posted September 17, 2003 Share #14 Posted September 17, 2003 My primary objective is to get overall weight down, while displacing any required weight from front to back, like battery, battery box, radio. At the same time that weight can be moved low, below deck, lowering center of gravity. Hatch weight is high up.Kevlar wing is better than weight in the back and much lighter than the hatch.

Mr Camouflage Posted September 17, 2003 Share #15 Posted September 17, 2003 Originally posted by DocBombay More weight is saved with a hatch or doors than the hood. Does anyone make a CF or fiberglass hatch? Yes they do, Carbon fibre hatch: Carbon fibre everything just about. Bonnet, hatch, rear light pannels, the pannel infront of the windscreen. Fibreglass fenders. Only problem is, they are in Japan. http://s-garage.hp.infoseek.co.jp/gaisou2.htm Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/7193-cf-hood/?page=2#findComment-50031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
