Hi everyone,

I know a very experienced boat builder who can make a mould of a brand new nissan bonnet I have recently purchased (no vents) to make carbon fibre or fibre glass hoods. To make this even remotely viable we would probably be looking at producing a minimum of 5-10 hoods. I am just putting the feelers out for anyone who may be interested or even better people who can commit to an order.

 

I'm pretty sure the carbon fibre hoods would be fully carbon fibre except the hinge mounts. Both the CF and FG versions would use alloy mounts for the hinges and locking mechanism.

 

They would be made in central queensland and would probably be available for pickup from central queensland or brisbane (and possibly delivered to towns in between depending on demand/timing). Or couriered at buyers expense.

 

We are probably looking at $900 for a carbon fibre hood and $450 for a fibre glass. At this stage, this is just covering the cost of production.

 

If we got enough people seriously interested we could go ahead with it. Let me know what you think :)

 

Cheers

Sushi

I dont want to burst your bubble Susi, but Alfa Fibreglass do CF & FG for the same price.

Just it might not be viable for us 'lower state' members when taking into account shipping...
