i went to a the local metal works and got a thin sheet of ally for ?12 dunno what gauge, i just had a look what they had and picked the one i liked

Essex Racing did my door cards in Carbon.
Dont think they cost that much whot i can remember, but was few years ago.
Might be worth a call.

IMO i think alloy doorcards look better.

Hi, where'd ya get the Flocked dash from? I've been trying everywhere and haven't found one...

[-=VanMan=-]

You wont find one in this topic sunbeam :roll:

On the topic of door cards have you thought of using GRP?

[kevster]

i need to get some now as i have striped the back out of the nova now :wink: :wink:

[Jack]

I'd have thought Carbon ones would be a fair bit lighter than alloy ones?

[SRlew]

yer the carbon ones would loads lighter wouldnt they?
but im after some alloy ones but i dont no where to buy them from, i dont realy fancy making them myself un less i carnt find any already made.

how much would they cost for front cards and rear ones and were from?

[Stuart]

you mean you cant get a sheet of 2mm ally, draw round your existing cards and then use a jigsaw to cut those simple shapes out?


wtf is the world coming to?!?!

[Stuart]

[SRlew]

will a normal jig saw cut through it?
and were do you get the sheet of metal from, i carnt really think of any where to buy it.

[Stuart]

jig saw with a metal cuttign blade set fairly slow will cu through all yes.

as for sheet ally, just look for metal merchants in yellopages etc.

or do you want me to come fnd it for you, mark it up cut it out and fit it for you? lmao

Cambridge's Metal Cutting Services... now there's a business opportunity

Well half the users on this site can?t navigate the forums properly or be bothered to type properly, so what makes you think they can be arsed to make their own door cards?

Any business on an industrial estate that deals with metal will be able to give/sell you some or even help you out on where to find some.... use your head, have a bit of common sense, dear me!

[ANDYRACER]

[Chris]

Shouldn't you be at school?

[Stuart]

[SRlew]

Yeh but im off ill.

[Dod]

Any sort of metal engineer not only will be able to supply you with the metal, but should also be able to make and fit the panels. I've got a set on order, only gonna take a few days to make, and thats cuz the guy thats making them is flat out at the moment as well.
