Started to sort out the door gaps. Work in progress.

For anyone interested, here is how I am dealing with the door gaps. This may not be the best way of adjusting door gaps but it works for me 
Cardboard for the gap.
P40 to fill gap.
A little fettling still required bu getting there.
I think an Elise would look great with that paint scheme.
It would certainly hide all those sharp, unchapmanlike, edges
For anyone remotely interested in vehicle weight reduction, I have just compared the Elanâs glass to polycarbonate. Original glass weighed 18kg, add the rubber seals and it tops out at just over 20kg. Allowing for the front and rear fixings the polycarbonate replacements weigh 5kg, so around 15kg saving.
Iâm interested!!!
Iâm not sure if itâs allowed for App K, havenât checked. I might do if the car comes in overweight.
Now that Restopowerâs Elan speedster is on hold you are the only kid on the block.
Keep up the interesting work.
The Restopowerâs Elan looks an interesting project, although I am not sure how they are going to fit the Sadev box without serious mods to the chassis. I hope that it gets resurrected as it looks an interesting project and it would be fun to compare notes and see an Elan done by professionals.
What do you mean by App K ?
Graeme,
App K encourages the use of Lexan. Just double check on the thickness that the FIA wish to see.
Andrew
But what is App K?
I believe he is referring to appendix k of fia regulations.
Ah, right.
5.12.1 Windscreens for all Touring, CT, GT and GTS cars must be of
laminated glass. In exceptional cases, waivers may be granted by
the FIA eligibility delegate for the use of rigid transparent plastic
for the current season if laminated screens are unobtainable for the
model concerned. Other cars may use rigid transparent plastic.

One day I am making carbon doors, roof or even a complete front clip, the next I am making air curtain support brackets

Steve- Where did you go?? I miss the updates on your progress. I hope all is well.
