burr_2000 1 Posted October 10, 2013 For my class I can only use fiberglass bonnet And tailgate, but have to retain the glass. Has anyone ever run a fiberglass tailgate with glass? Wondering if its even possible or what weight saving would roughly be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calvinhorse 870 Posted October 11, 2013 I had a smith and deakin fg tailgate which was lighter than standard but you can chop a lot of weight out of a standard tailgate (if allowed!) and then you retain the glass, latch and lock for the grand total of £0.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burr_2000 1 Posted October 11, 2013 i am not allowed to cut holes in any panel, i was just gonna bond the glass to the fg tailgate, not really fussed with the lock and such like as its purely used on track. i am not sure if anyone has done this? it would be so much easier if they allowed perspex windows.

mmt 15 Posted October 20, 2013 I've just cut 2 kg out of my tailgate but it still weighs way too much. Where can I buy one made of GF? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mmt 15 Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks. Can you post a picture of it? Straight fit or much adjustment? Does it fit to the original hinges ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
