The seats cop a heap of load in them too as you are using them to push against. Parcel tray: you could tack down some fabric, then fill with expanding foam and massage to suit. Easy and lightweight. Awefull stuff to clean up afther though. Coremat is another type of core, I think it is similar to the vinicore that I mentioned earlier, but I have never personally used it, so I can't really comment. Epoxy resin can be found at most hardware stores, even surfboard shops in board repair kits if your desperate. Taking an inner mould would work but it is another mould and being the inner surface will require a lot more work to protect the hinge and latch points from filling with resin. Wax is good, I would wax it say 3 times then give it a coat of release agent before layup. You definitly don'twant to lay up on a dry bonnet/mould. As fester said, it is a good idea to mould in some hard points., particularly if you want to screw into them as per the existing bonnet hinge/latch points. MFX_Neko_86 comment regarding the pin holes, we used a wash prime (raged over then sanded) over the carbon aircraft that I was working on followed by a spray/high fill primer then sanded again and never had a problem with the finish. If you are concerned about people sitting on the edges, put another ply in that area. Kevlar gives good impact resistance, thats why they use it in bullet proof vests, but I wouldn't use it for it's strength. If you were doing an area that is likely to get hit by stones, then it is probably worth considering an outer ply of kevlar, but you are throwing away your money making a bonnet out of it. Does the sprinter have springs on the bonnet? if it does, then you would need some carefull work around that area to stop it from falling apart. [Report message to a moderator]
