Yeah, not going to be fun, will be having lots of 'race tape' at the track...
Maybe cut it yourself in a few strategic places and then fix it with a thin layer of fibreglass on the inside. That way if you do get rubbed on the track it should break along those lines instead of just where ever and it will be easy to fix.

Yeah not a bad idea, we already are mounting the glass in a way so that in an impact it bends the mounts, kinda scaraficial mounts that are easily replaced, i'll try and find some photos of what im talking about.

next is a bonded carbon fiber roof. Should of gone carbon fiber for all the panels instead, glass weighs a ton compared to carbon.

When you cut the back end off, could you post some photos. I'm quite interested in what stays and what goes.

Thanks :)

Got these fitted last night, could hold the whole strut and brake assembly in place with one hand with little effort to do up the top bolts :punk:
