Aramid Composite Body Cracks

[The Hatter]

Ho do you repair this stuff? GRP I'm happy with, what do you need to do with the Kevlar/Aramid suff?

[jmorgan]

Is it aramid? Also, what is it bolted to, has the chassis crumbled and body dropped?

[cuneus]

Not an expert!

It depends on whether that crack is in the top layer of resin or in the material itself (probably kevlar on this car)

All the exiting material around the crack needs removing then patch (if required) and use epoxy resin which is much better

Im not an expert either but you need first to establish if it is aramid or carbon as they both need different applications of resins and fillers..
Im sure aramid is harder to crack or split but is subsequently more prone to water if damaged..If it is aramid/Kevlar..you are radar transparent..Stealth man.

Sub radar... does that mean you don't get picked up by speed traps?!!

Good point about the chassis; but I figure that's welding and easy(ish) to do, the body's more critical.

Unfortunately mate the wheels,windscreen,number plates,hood and exhaust are not transparent..You need a revolving number plate for speed cameras..
