How much weight savings were you able to achieve with the carbon fiber?
Hi JK.
I just talked to my partner at the factory and he is going to weigh both the rear deck lid & frt. panels. - He said on the phone, he thinks the rear weighs less than 10kg. Lets see. i'll post weights as son as he calls back.
The frt. "bonnet,"( decklid ) has the 'new - style' radiator hot air-exits for better air flow, heat disapation....the rear panel, the one posted with the big vents is for my new 'Hi - tech,' carbon-bodied, chrome-moly fully adjustable, ( one Allan Key for all adjustments ) chassis, Grp 4 Replica with all up dry weight of 2200lbs.
- OK . He's weighed both. The front panel unfinished = 8kg (17.6)lbs. The rear panel 13kg (28.6)lbs. I'll get him to weigh the standard parts when he goes home from work today..later, tai
