Hey guys, bit of an odd question, but i don't suppose anyone has tried fitting one of these race covers to an MK indy? I'm tempted to buy one and see if i can make it fit. What do you think??

You'd be better off starting from scratch I wouild imagine, It appears to be a fairly simple bent sheet of ally.

what a price for a bent bit of sheet must take all of 3 mins to make that

Im sure it will be a very different shape-easier to start from scratch it only looks like just a bit of bent ali sheet.

Ok cheers guys, thanks for the replies, best get the tape measure out.

make one out of thick card, then copy it in metal

or make one out of thin card and just dont go out in the rain.

I would doubt it will fit.. The catervan is quite a different shape.. And you are paying for catervan to make it fit a catervan... hooding and pop-studs would be my first choice, you can then fold it up when you have a passenger.. Also I don't like the idea of driving around with a bit of ally like that it's very thin and movable, it may well slice though things (well you) if you had a side impact?

I did see a Lotus Elise with a soft top cover made out of a material similar to lycra. Not sure about how waterproof you can get that though.

Neoprene over a skeleton frame would be my choice.

MK have these on their Indy R race cars they are a simple bit of ally bent to shape. The do affix a bar dash to Bulkhead as a support

If I made one I would angle it so it slopes to the side so water rolls off
