Locost Door bump out
Does anybody make a GRP or plastic door bump out (for the drivers and passengers elbows) that can be used on homemade doors? I have seen several Se7en
doors that have a nice bump added to the normally flat door. My Locost design does not allow a "standard" door to be used so I will have
to make them. Yeah I could hammer out some aluminum but if I could find premade ones and add them to my doors it would be a lot better. Sounds like a
potential product line for someone with moulding skills. Thanks in advance, Russ

Not ready made, but my solution was to build in an arm rest by bending ali doors through 90 degrees. See

Could you not shape some foam the fibreglass over it
That way you could make it the exact siz shape that you want
Its what I plan on doing when I get around to making some doors

Yes, like attaching small streamlined bulges to a brick 
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.
