Edge Trim

[HandyAndy]

I,m in the same boat too, just ordered another load of edge trim....

I,m using the same edge trim I,ve used on the front cycyle wings for the curve part of the cockpit sides ( no SS1 parts , just the GRP tub ).

I,m thinking of covering the top rails of the cockpit using some hardboard/ camping mat foam covered in vinyl ( same as dashboard ) & using velcro or maybe even glue it place ( can,t see me ever needing to remove the side panels apart from a crash situation to replace/repair them )

Is there a minium diamater edge trim for things like the cycle wings?

The stuff i've got is quite small, but looks nice and neat and rounds the edges nicely. Hope it's not too small tho

I,m using this on my cycle wings & cockpit curved sides

This is the same stuff Spud passed his S.V.A. test with , so hopefully it,ll be ok for the IVA .

Intially, not enough ( me being tight again )....
I,ve also used it on the edge of the bonnet where it meets the nose & the scuttle....
also used it on the front wing stays, as mine are 5mm plate side supports & the trim finishes them off just nicely.

In total, including the extra I,ve just ordered = 10mtrs...but I,ll probably have a bit left over ( didn,t want to run out again ).

I,ve also used some of this...on the aeroscreen etc , bought 5mtrs of it
