Interior panels
pekwah1 - 15/8/16 at 11:36 AM

Hi Guys,

I'm considering paneling the inside of my striker to hide the exposed tubing etc.
I'm sure aluminium might be the answer, but wondered if anyone has used a very thin plastic or PVC etc instead, and if so where do you get such a thing from in one piece?

Regards
Andy

I looked into it, and it was going to be too heavy, too expensive and too difficult to work with.

One suggestion from one here was airplane wing fabric, suitably 'doped' (I think that's the term).

Andy,

I have !

I used corex, its the stuff "for sale " signs are made off. and then stuck the carpet to it

its very very light, and thin, but doubled up going in opposite directions, quite strong

I have some in the garage if you want to try

an ebay link of the stuff I used, but I only had a couple of sheets

CORREX SHEETING FLOOR PROTECTION 8FT X 4FT (2.4M X 1.2MTR ) 50 SHEETS

Thanks,

I think the aircraft fabric stuff might be a bit off...
Steve in terms of the corex, first off good one for linking to a £150 listing lol!
Not sure it's going to be the most durable though as I'm not planning on carpeting etc, would be leaving it bare

I did the interior of my previous car with pinseal ABS. looked good but was a pain to cut.
