Lite weight panels for Nova

[Jelly Head]

Has anyone come across standard light weight (glass / carbon fibre) panels ie wings and doors for a Nova? I've found fibreglass bonnets and hatches but i've drawn a blank on the others, any help?

[Grim Reaper]

you can get fibreclass doors or even moulds for the fibreglass doors...was a pair of moulds up for sale quite a while ago

[Jelly Head]

Any idea who if anyone is making them?

rally nuts

I've had a look at rally nuts but drawn a blank, do you have a link?

[Giles]

Do a search on here for carbon fibre doors. Lee303 has some. The molds (IIRC) where used by rally nuts, then someone bought them and couldn't be bothered to make any (and really should sell them to someone who would).

shame he types like a 12year old girl though lol.

dont forget that qith GRP/CF doors you REALLY should have door bars... so the overall weight loss is marginal but hey ho

[Jelly Head]

Nice one cheers

... so the overall weight loss is marginal but hey ho

Agree if you are comparinig it to a normal road car driven by girls.
But any person using a nova properly (ie track days etc) should have a roll cage with door bars anyway. So there is a weight saving against what the car 'should' weigh when used properly.

lmao

[Jelly Head]

Aye i've got door bars already so i would be a good drop in the overall weight for me.

ive been reliably informed by a chap who used to rally that GRP is a little "better" than CF for competion use as the grp will bend and pop back to shape when you hudge trees etc whereas the CF would shatter lol. but again on track thats no biggie
