Thinking about using some abs plastic sheet for my back panel and transmission tunnel etc.

Not sure if many people have any experience with the stuff. Just think it looks a bit cleaner than ali and probably a bit lighter.

What thicknesses would people recomend?

Ben

hello mate

I did my interior with abs,used 3-4 mm 0n the back panel and the tunnel.

From where desyboy ? Any chance you could stick a pic up for us to have a look at ?

Looks nice (http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/upload/P1010033a.jpg)

But does ABS not get soft/warp in the sun?

Sounds good, I'm in for some of that - where do I buy that from ?

Mike

Doesn't ABS scratch very easily? And is it happy to take rivets with cracking or deforming?

As far as deforming goes, as long as what your fixing it to is the same angle as the abs it will be fine, other wise it could crack.

As far as scratching goes if you look after it , it seems fine.

Where did you buy yours from desyboy ?

Cheers,

Mike
