Fiberglass bonnet mould team buy? - Dum-Dum - 30-01-2014
Spoox are selling their moulds for 306 fiberglass bonnets

Currently at £285 or best offer. If a few of us went in together we could mould our own bonnets. 6 of us would be £50 each, 10 of us would be £30 each (plus fiberglass) but would probably end up with a sub £100 fiberglass bonnet. Obviously wed need to make up a rota of who gets it and when and how it gets moved and what happens once everyone has a bonnet but could be an awesome plan. TBH i reckon we could get it cheaper too.

Theres quite an art to doing it, I reckon it wouldn't be as straight forwards unfortunately
RE: Fiberglass bonnet mould team buy? - Poodle - 30-01-2014
That's been up for ages, someone suggested doing the same thing months ago. I'd buy it myself, but i'm making my own for considerably less lol

But yours would have massive dents in the middle for boost pipes alex

Exactly this. Its not as simple as just throwing fibreglass in the mould and a perfect bonnet comes in. Fibreglass is actually really expensive and a pain to do.
RE: Fiberglass bonnet mould team buy? - Poodle - 31-01-2014
Lol Grant, true story.
It's not that expensive, or even difficult to do, but it is fairly painstaking and labour-intensive.

Whats the advantage of a fibreglass bonnet anyway? Is it literally just weight saving?
RE: Fiberglass bonnet mould team buy? - Poodle - 31-01-2014
Pretty much, otherwise it's just a pita lol.

Didnt ozone have a fiber glass one that wobbled or something?
RE: Fiberglass bonnet mould team buy? - Poodle - 31-01-2014
That's fairly normal for a grp bonnet tbh lol.
RE: Fiberglass bonnet mould team buy? - Grant - 31-01-2014
IIRC from reading last time spoox were selling this stuff; its a pain to get them without air bubbles in. Its not just a case of layering on the mat and then resin'ing it. So as to speak. If you were going to run off about 20 and sell them then i reckon it would be worth it. Otherwise,
