GRP fabrication, how do I start?
Hi gang, I'm thinking I might just have a crack at fabricating my own front cycle wings plus my old Locust nosecone will need some serious modification for it to fit my car. I have only ever made one attempt at GRP work before and that was to make a flat "bootlid" for my camper last year, not a terrible job but not great either.
So to my questions: what do I need, where can I get it, how much will it cost and what is the best way to learn about the process, is there a book I can get to learn a bit more first or a website (even better as that would be free)? I know I can buy most of the panels I'd need but as mine is not a standard Haynes roadster there is bound to e some customising required, my wheels are 16" for example which means the standard roadster cycle wings designed for 15" will probably not have the correct radius. I really just fancy having a crack at it myself. All help and advice gratefully received, D.
