Trying to gauge interest in selling sets of raw amber (with the correct yellow resin tinting) 914-6 engine tin. I have an opportunity to buy a set of molds, and figured since I was interested in a set, others would be too. The current stuff you can buy from rennspd has too much green tint In the resin, and looks wrong to me.
Sets would all be clear gelcoat, hand laminated fiberglass, with flexibility is what thickness people wanted. All fasteners would be aerospace grade riveted floating nut plates, and the tin would come fit with holes already drilled. Was also considering making the front tin piece in two pieces to allow it to be removed with the fan still on the engine, and the engine still in the car. I could also use carbon instead of glass if someone would be so inclined. Pricing would start at $390 a set for raw amber fiberglass. This may go up or down depending on the quality of the molds, which I'm not 100% on yet. So, is there a market for this stuff, or are people content with the steel tin that is already actively used on most conversions? |
