Any idea on whether you'll be making fibreglass ones and what the price would be.
Also any info on whether these are built with a break line or anything to make them crumple in crashes vs guilotining your head off? :)
Cheers
Nick

Page services on trademe (In christchrch) do fiberglass panels Nick. Freight from OZ will be a killer!

When it comes to quality gear, especially manufactured here with aussie labour and ingenuity..
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Now, when are the Sunny bonnets available?

These are not crappy Chinese quality products,


Hmmm maybe;

"These are not crappy quality Chinese products." Sounds a little more...neutral.

Fair price. It's specialist workmanship.

Yer they are cheap but there still srong , and for the price difference of over $1G it's not a option for me at least , i'm sure these new GX ones are great as well

yeah thats what he was saying about being able to buy cheap taiwanese crap
sure they could be conisdered light weight bonnets as the steel thats used is stupidly thin

but its a full carbon kevlar bonnet thats actually been checked on real cars to ensure that it fits, and that are a fraction of the weight of a standard one but still as strong...or a fair bit stronger im guessing

Hi Guys I have been asked to have a look at this site by my cousin clint and his son Luke .My name is Rick I work as a Tech Sales. Rep for fgi Gold Coast.I specialise in infusion and have been involved in the mould making and infusion process of these bonnets.I have noticed people asking where the kevlar is ,the kevlar is sandwiched between 2 layers of 198g carbon twill.The kevlar is 300g satin weave .The resin that is used is a vinyl based infusion resin which has a Heat Distortion Temp of 120-130deg whereas epoxy only has a HDT of 70-80deg after post curing.

Freight prices always vary, but as a guide we sould be able to get one to most capital citys for about$40-$80. And possibaly free to some parts of Sydney and Adelaide.

At this stage we are not looking at making fiberglass bonnets, as the guy that is making them is a carbon/kevlar specialist.
