In the almost year I have been acvite on the club, I have seen or heard about lots of glass flares being installed on 914's. Rick(alien) mentioned once he had to pull the lower corners out, add some material to keep them there. Others mentioned being able to see glass mat through the paint ect. Well, I will post more detialed pic's of course, but here is a couple of the flares I am putting on CAMP914's V8 car. His yellow on had rear flares installed (FG) and I am putting the front ones on for him.

Hey Root Werks!
Really interested in this thread. I posted some pix of my FG flare install a couple of weeks ago. We got a couple days of warm weekend weather here in VA and I got started on the flares. I have a question for you..... I made up a couple test coupons before starting the flare install to see which method gave me the most strerngth and to get a feel for fibermorphing again, 'cause it's been a couple years since my last project. Making the test coupons I found that I had to cut short pieces of cloth to fit between the screw down points. If I used a long piece of cloth the hold down screw would tend to grab the cloth and spin it around making a mess. Of course I was able to lay extra long pieces of cloth 12"" or so around the out side edge of the hold down screws. The question is how do you do this (laydown the inner cloth)? I'll post a pic of the way I do it next time the weather breaks here. I just don't want to sand in the garage fiber resin dust gets in everything, |
