Group: Forum Members Posts: 39, Visits: 380	I'm getting parts 2gether to start making a sunroof bung for my car but I'm just struggling for what way to stack the materials because costs are low after buying all the equipment involed I want the part to look oem as possible so I can have it attached to the mechanism if I choose or just use it as a bung. Iv seen some people using 200g carbon then 3/4 layers of 200/300g woven glass would this be stiff enough like this? If not what would be good enough amount if layers that's not 2 expensive? The part is 20"x30" and there will be a front and back mould that will need bonding together. Thanks for any help Daz

Edges made with either enough layers of CF to match the Soric, or CF tape. "Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW! The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind... 103% of all people do not understand statistics... Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)
