carbonadi covers

Post by alanfjones1411 »

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 ?

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.

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

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.
