Light weight material for making rear door cards?

[Schweppy]

What's best to use?

Will be cutting out the shape and possibly drilling into it for speakers.

Hardboard is whats used in my mk1. Weighs the grand total of f**k all.

Covered in black acoustic carpet so looks factory too.

Top man! Busy?

 

[EllD90]

How about cardboard?

 

[Greeny.]

How about Tesco bags?

 

[Schweppy]

I was thinking clingfilm.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Some thin 3mm or so hardboard or maybe some perspex?

 

[Greeny.]

Can you get rear carbon cards? The front carbon ones for £90 odd quid on ebay are decent.

 

[EllD90]

Black bin liners would give a better finish then, make sure they're recyclable ones too!

You can buy sheets of CF from various suppliers only a few £age.

You can but the ones i found are £100 and i don't see the point. I have found real carbon fibre sheets on ebay with adhesive backing so just gonna stick that over the hardboard.

If they're real carbon fibre would you need the hardboard?!?

Yeh its only 1mm thick and flexible. Although that costs £20 a sheet and i'd need one per side so might be cheaper just getting Carbon Fibre.

What size sheets and I'll get the figure for you

 

[Nick172Cup]

Ask for me also Tom Surely 2 sheets of 1m squared carbon will be enough for both rear cards...

 

[Schweppy]

What size sheets and I'll get the figure for you

Rear door card size so at a guess i;d say 40x30cm?

 

[Tom@JMS]

£20 for each sheet roughly at that size

£30 for 50x50 cm

£90 for 1mx1m strangely. I'll look into that...

the cards in mine are only about 1mm thick, the rears are bonded in and the fronts are fastened with sticky back velcro.

speakers are for homo's

Mine (when I put them back on) are 1mm F1 grade prepreg carbon.

Dont use any backing mate....
