I have great news. The first orders of carbon fibre sunroofs and now made and I have to say, they are twice as good as the prototype one. They do not require any polishing as they are shiny mirror finish both sides. The edges are good too.
The first orders will be shipped on Monday.
It's been a long process and it's hard to comprehend how difficult it is to develop such a product.
They are now availible for anyone to buy. If interested then e-mail on dave@acsdesign.org
Delivery approx 2 weeks. Will try to improve on that.


Cheers,



Dave Walters

Hi Kylie, I come to realise that pics don't give these any justice. Iam so please with the results, they are amazing. Hope you get yours sorted. If you don't I can always make enquiries to how much shipping is.

Keep me posted on your progress.

Hi there I did some more on the CF roof today, have been sanding the layers as I go, so I can get a good smooth finish on the inside. The outside will be a perfect mirror finish and I got the weave very even. I thought about making a mould for the inside, off my glass panel, but ahh too much hassel. So am half way there doing it hard way I guess.

Dave what part no's are required for the latch fittings?

I asked my Lotus specialist to order necessary items for me, but just want to cross reference I am on the right track.
Cheers

Dave,

They are applying a good automotive clear to the tops right?

Good luck on your venture! Sounds very interesting.
