That's a carbon kevlar mix you have there Dan.Nice material; supposedly has the strength from carbon and the impact resistance/flexibility of kevlar all rolled into one. Looks like they did a good job of those doors. |

Yeah, that's a carbon/kevlar mixed cloth, used to do the bodywork in the same stuff to give it a bit more impact and abrasion resistance: ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Aye, well, not that one, that one sold a long time back, but ours is getting there, waiting on a digidash arriving atm and some brake pads and that's it, painting time. Probably should update the thread  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

clen666 wrote: I'm impressed Thank you  I really would say if they weren't brilliant & they are as stiff & flex less even at the top that gets bent out by thiefs less than my Metal ones with nothing cut out ...only small issue is getting the Hinges height 95% correct ...the distance between is easy but because no marking for them to go anywhere unlike the lock side ...and you don't have much movement to ajust them up & down ...only side to side ! I did make & take a template off original doors ...but as I've said in the earlier post I was out on both hinges by 5mm ... The square Alloy block you can't see until you drill the holes that's sandwiched between the Kevlar is so thick & ive had to use x4 -45mm bolts to go through hinges & door thickness which I'm so pleased about ... Now I've got the passenger side spot on I'm making a template for these doors only to reverse & sort drivers side out .. I've contacted Tony Palfrey of Maxi Motorsport who supplied them & he's really pleased how they fit ....he's never supplied a pair of these in Kevlar before & it's always great to know what your selling Quality wish The lock picture below is was all marked out by the manurfactures so easy Dremel cutout job I'm really hoping to get them sprayed & as with my fibreglass bonnet & tailgate not be able to see they aren't Metal ....which shows how good they are made & sprayed  Day666 has attached the following image: |

Holes drilled ready for door latch & handle fitting ...no key lock or lock push button will be used & as I've said no holes will show once Carbon door panels fitted ...I'm using the original inside door opening handle system as it's easy to fit & works well & is lightweight enough......I can use Twangy Previous door cards as a template seeing as I've cut the handles out already |

I would love one but I've got a good idea how much they are & I'm Going to need both my doors sprayed & Polycarbonate AR windows bought .... Phil will they work easy with all the sensors not coming through the DTA ? I know some do easy & others on the market don't ? |
