This is how it arrived to me (100% Grp). The front section is double skinned with a 12-15mm void. When I received it I was assured it was more than strong enough and to keep the weight down the void was not filled with anything. I knew it was never going to work, it had far too much flex and there was no way it could support 100kg + loads. Anyway I listened to the manufacturer and trailered the car to the ring. On the track, as soon as I reached 80mph the whole front of the car started to vibrate violently, so at track side I decided to cut the front lip off and seal with gaffa tape. The problem went away instantly. I have since filled the void with very light pine wood and resin, I also had some kevlar fabric and decided to put that on the underbelly to stiffen that up, sadly the kevlar sheet was not on a roll and had many creases, but its not major for me as it will be painted over. My question to everyone here is, what do I need and how do I cover and seal the duck lip section where its been rejoined. I can see the carbon fabric not wanting to curve round the lip end :-/ Any help would be much appreciated. Andrew Edited 12 Years Ago by Demlotcrew
