Right,
I have contacted Winder about some moulded cradles for my Fireball, but, on further inspection, I will have to glass them onto the trailer. Can anyone point me to a good resource somewhere so that I can do this without having to beg people for help? I'm looking at getting a Halfords FibreGlass kit .... I think these should have enough stuff in them to get the cradle reasonably well attached. Would I be able to do the whole lot in one day? Has anyone else done this recently ( or a long time ago ... ) ? Cheers, Novice James |

Don't get a halfords kit! Too expensive, poor quality, not enough material. Polyfibre are your best bet that I know of, they do do mail order (Polyester harndener is a bit dodgy though so you may have pay for a courier.) and are reasonably priced. Their resin doesn't go off as fast as fastglass but this is actually a good thing as it seems to give a stronger cure. www.polyfibre.co.uk |
