if someone is prepared to lend a tailgate for a few weeks we are happy to get a mould made so all you guys can get your carbon fix. These would be very lightweight race spec items.

you can pick up tailgates cheap on ebay.



i'm sure CCF will do them in carbon if you ask. when i bought my bonnet from them, the guy said he was going to be making carbon bonnets, boots, roof and even doors iirc. they must have a mould of the tailgate for the fibreglass so i'm sure they could do a carbon one. i think they are still working on alot of parts, so they should be available soon.

hmm, sounds good kam. :)

What sort of price?

if we can borrow one it will help keep the costs lower (moulds cost bloody loads) so we can offer a better price per item for saxp premium members :p Off the top of my head around £300-£350 per item but its really hard to judge until you get a panel to measure up and work out how much carbon you will need.

do you have one going spare then? You are quite far away so I am loath to get you to box it up so I can sort a courier to collect but needs may mean I have to :D
