Cheerslooks like im getting my arm twisted into getting the roof
Cheers
Would be rude not too.
Not sure there is really a massive need for a carbon roof, is there? How much weight saving is there to be made from it? and what about losing strength from having a roof bonded on? Are people suggesting it just because it would look cool and because so much of the rest of the car will be carbon. Could just paint the standard roof black or wrap it, if its really a visual reason over any other benfits.
There's no strength in the roof skin, Plus carbon is stronger than 2mm steel.
Yeah I'd guessed carbon could be stronger, but I mean more about how its attached to the body, is welded on metal stronger than glued on carbon? I would have thought the roof does add a fair bit of rigidity to the shell. Seems like a lot of effort for minimal gains to me, I'm just questioning what the motivation is, other than just being able to say it has a carbon roof.Originally Posted by maddogdaz666
I know what your saying mate, the structural strength is something I've been thinking about. Nothing is set in stone yet, it's something I will have to think about.
Strength in a nova shell? Are you having a fcuking laugh!! They have no no strength in the panels, only in the way they are added together.
success is only limited by a weak mind
2mm thick carbon is not stronger then 2mm thick steel.
i don't know much about the strengths etc, but i would be having a full weld/bolt in cage if your doing the quarters/roof
Why all the holes around the side?
