Just been looking on curley's site. I'm interested in purchasing a carbon fibre roof skin, but im curious on how it would fit? Also, what sort of protection is it going to give me? I'm thinking of fitting a FIA approved rollcage as well for my own piece of mind.

Any info please?

Ask Smudger, he's the best bloke for CF goodies here! and probably cheaper than curley too! :cheese:

if you go on minifinity, there's a chap on there who fitted a curley carbon roof to his sprint mini, his name is northend, so you can either pm him, or do a search for it.

[smudger]

LOL, yeah ask Northend.

But if you are going to fit a composite roof then the very least is a 6 point cage, & i prefer them in Kevlar as its stronger.

How do you fit the CF roof skins then?
I'd guess that you cut away the majority of the tin roof and leave like a 3 inch lip to attach the new panel to, then maybe rivet or screw it on?????

[smudger]

Yup.

Prefer a bit of bonder as well, to make it water proof at the edges.

Am sorting out 2 GRP & 1 Kevlar roof asap. Will post pics when done.
