QUOTE(MW 914 @ Aug 9 2006, 11:13 AM)  QUOTE(RON S. @ Aug 9 2006, 06:18 AM) I did mine in a carbon fiber laminate. Wasn't hard to do. Total cost came to about $120.00 heres a couple pics. Ron Ron - Is that a kit or id you cut it all out yourself? If so, any chance you can provide a how-to? Mike Mike, I bought the material from a place called DragonPlate outa New York. It came in sheets 6"X24"X.020 It also has a peel and stick backing.It cut real easy witha pair of scissors.Around the glove box area I used a Heatgun to form the edges.It was a really simple job.I think I paid about $35.00 a sheet for the material,and needed 3 sheets to properly do the job. QUOTE(East coaster @ Aug 9 2006, 04:55 PM) Isn't the 914club pedal board a "one off" by Ron? Yes, the pedalboard is a one off that I designed to fit my car only because of the oil lines.It was laser cut from .060 thick Titanium,and is really light,and incredibly stiff. Ron |

Since so many have suggested carbon, from our racing brothers, how about going back to the early days of racing and use an engine turned dash. I found a site http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/et/et.htm that talks about some of the work this guy does on everything from antique cars to folding knives.
Very cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I tried to post one of the pictures on his site, but had no success. TC |

Real Leather?
Google for upholstery leather or FAA spec (fire resistant) leather. Lots of colors and imprinted designs. Carbon fiber is too shiny for my tastes. And suffers from the Casio effect, i.e. overused as costs have decreased. Good Luck, Fin |

QUOTE(East coaster @ Aug 9 2006, 08:55 PM) Isn't the 914club pedal board a "one off" by Ron? I belive it is - he did a real nice job on making his own. The 914club and swoosh outline are trademark and I do not put it into the boards I make. If you want to make one for yourself - well ask an admin before you do it. M |
