Stuck a pair of fiberglass half doors on eBay at £80
Need a guinea pig to buy a set, fit them, and post some pictures on here

It may be a silly question....but do I take it the curve for the rear arch on these half doors must be more or less the same as any other kit?

The reason I ask is I have a GBS Zero and although it's a full cage, the cage shouldn't interfere with the half door but I just want to understand if the curve will match up. Length and height should be fine but I'll go measure soon.

Thanks,

Henry

It's the same curve / radius as the Locost / Haynes book chassis. It must be the same on most 7 type cars. My car has caterham rear arches and the door follows them on a very similar radius. Check out the photos on the eBay listing as that gives you an idea and I will measure the radius when I get home and stick it on here
Cheers

Great, thanks very much.

Sure like you say they're all more or less the same radius.

Cheers,

The curve on the end of the door sits very nicely on the circumference of a 26" push bike tyre
The diameter of the tyre is 660mm or 26"
Hope that helps

isnt the cockpit on a GBS much longer than on a Locost?

The doors measure 950 mm long and are 190 mm tall
