Hi All
This is probably going to make me sound a little thick!
I’m looking to redo the interior of my Locost, it’s been stored outside for sometime and the interior has perished. I wanted to know where to get the
materials from. The side panels and the back panel are what I can only describe as cardboard type stuff, the edges have got wet and have frayed. Does
anyone know where I can get more of this type of stuff from? Or what other options do I have?
Equally does anyone know anyone in the Birmingham area that would be able to do the interior for me, potentially something smarter then the current
cardboard solution!
Thanks in advance!
Matt

Sounds like MDF, you can get 3mm thick at Wickes, B&Q etc. or use 1.2mm thick ally sheet instead.
Sounds a lot like hardboard. Wickes are as good as any where else on the high street.

Matt u would be better off replacing with ally or plastic as alternative.. Local sign writers or plastic suppliers may help and you can cut from cardboard template. Cheers D

You can use pop rivets or stick it with pu adhesive. If you can drive an R1 bec surely you can work out how to work a pop riveter or mastic gun

You betcha good luck and remember measure twice cut once
If you go ally use some pu adhesive as well, such as sikaflex or tigerseal etc.
If in doubt shout back up

Or use 3M VHB tape they use the stuff to hold panels on trains and coaches - sticky as hell and as easy to use as any double sided tape (though you
MUST get it in the right place first time )
ETA: The lightest solution is to not use anything and just admire your chassis as you drive along.
