Kevlar/ carbon composite doors & Carbon Fibre door panels have arrived & ive been working on Passenger side first ...
They have alloy 8mm plates I've had to drill through that are sandwiched between Kevlar where hinges bolt for extra strength...
It was a ballach getting the hinges located in 95% correct height as no real template from original doors matched ...I got them just out height wise by 5mm meaning I had to drill x4 more holes again ...no big issue ....amazingly & im shocked the doors fit as good originals & are even stiffer at the top where the thieves normally bend them out...
I'm going to be running Polycarb AR windows with 210mm square sliders bonded & bolted to the front doors & the size is much smaller than standard Polycarbonate standard door windows so I've made a template without opener just to make sure they are 100% made right all pics below
Hinges
Door side view
Lock cut out
Trial fitted on my m8s scrap 306 ...fits so well
100% Kevlar / carbon mix ...good to know
Each door weighs 6.3kgs instead of 27kgs each standard ones so 40kgs ish saving
