Latest pictures have been posted at http://www.shadowhost.com/mci/conversion7.html Does anyone know of a latch which would be flush mounted and lockable to replace the MCI 'T' handle for the engine compartment doors? | ||

Hi Cpt Ron.. if you start at www.shadowhost.com/mci/conversion.html and go through the pages, you will see how I installed the frp. While it looks like a good idea, I don't think I would use it again. Laird Plastics are all over North America, and should be able to supply a sample if Kemlite won't. | ||

Bob, what were the dimensions of the steel tubing you used and was it thin wall or thick? Sure lookes nice but why not do it that way? to much trouble? | ||

Hi Bulldogie The tubing is 1.5 inch square tubing .100 wall.. I am assuming you mean not using the frp again.. The frp is very rubbery, and would not be suitable as a skin by itself. As you could see through my conversion pictures, I had to put sheet metal on the frame, and then bond the frp to the sheet metal. If I were to do it again, I think I would just go for a thicker sheet metal. Needless to say, I was warned after I purchased the frp that it was rubbery. One other problem that isn't so apparent in the pictures, but can be seen in a certain light, is that the frp does show where the glue lines are between it and the metal. Its not a harsh line, but is noticeable to me. Thanks for all the other compliments.. it means alot coming from other converters! Bob | ||
