240 Fibreglass panels

[retrosport]

Looking for fibreglass, or lightweight, bonnet - boot lid - rear spoiler - front spoiler - bumpers for my 242 rally car.

Anyone got any ideas or contacts?

Thanks

having alot of trouble, or is it a thread per panel? :D

Please do not create multiple threads for one question

if ur 242 has big bumpers you can change them for the later 240 style bumpers which should save a little weight.
also all pannals would need to be custom made as i doubt anywhere will sell pre made

Must be a Swedish site that can help........

I do fibreglassing, fraid I don't have anything made however I could make some up for you if you can spare the original parts to copy.

Got a flatfront bonnet skin and a boot skin from Sweden. Found a "so called" manufacturer of fiberglass panels for the 240 (and a host of other classics) but trying to get him paid and the goods delivered is worse than having root canal work with no pain-killers.

Holy thread resurrection!!, glad you got sorted...did you get sorted??

Wow what a thread resurrection.

I wanted a lightweight bonnet for my 245 but after looking around and finding the only company doing them was in the USA I backed out for the hassle and thought more pwoer would be easier ha ha ha


Would be nice to get some weight out of the old girl though.

*Cough**...I've no idea who the hell your talking about,lol.

If you can source me a bonnet (in good condition) then I can make one, though it may take me a while as I'm back at work now.
