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.

Thanks for that.I'll give it go and hope I get em central.

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

I think he reinforces some of them.That may be the difference.Adhesive is 7 euros ss far as I can remember.

Hi temp silicone works just as well ...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OVEN-DOOR-GLA ... Sw42JWEkyc

Other hi Temp may be avalible...

there's a guy on one of the firestorm pages on facebook sell's both sides for £60 posted if I remember rightly

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.
