carbonadi covers
Carbon fibre covers arrived today to cover up scrapes on both sides of the engine.What is the best way to make the holes in the left hand side as there ain't any in it.Will a hole saw do it and would the edges have to be sealed when it's done ?
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN
Re: carbonadi covers
Yep hole saw...watch the dust! use a mask...Don't know re the sealing but a light sand & a bit of laquer cant hurt can it.alanfjones1411 wrote:Carbon fibre covers arrived today to cover up scrapes on both sides of the engine.What is the best way to make the holes in the left hand side as there ain't any in it.Will a hole saw do it and would the edges have to be sealed when it's done ?

Re: carbonadi covers
Bit late for you mate, but anyone else buying these, if you ask him he will supply these covers with the holes cut.

Re: carbonadi covers
there's a guy on one of the firestorm pages on facebook sell's both sides for £60 posted if I remember rightly
Re: carbonadi covers
Chris, just send him an e mail and he will respond in English. The adhesive he supplies is a high temp silicone type so you pays your money and takes your pick.
