Hey Alan,

On our last meeting you showed pics of that box you are building for the
speakers.
Couple of questions wrt to that:
Where did you get the fibreglass and resin ?
You and Brian (CLKWRK) also mentioned some kind of seal to use where the box meets the body. Where can I get this ?


Thanks,
Rob.

Rob,

Crappy tire has FG cloth and resin .. Are you using this to fab a cover for that radiator ? Not sure if this is what Alan used though.

Yep, that's the plan.

I'll prolly start with plywood and then cover it with the resin and fibreglass.

I've got the engine in (see 'and so it begins' post), and the airholes drilled.
Next is the waterhoses and .....wiring (shudder)...

Rob.

Rob:

Firstly the Fiberglass suppliers I used were:
SmithCraft Fiberglass Ltd., 970 The Queensway
Etobicoke Tel# (416) 259-6946 (Good guys)
They sell "quality" materials and supplies and will
also assist you with info if needed.

You could source at any "boat dealer/repair shop"
Crappy Tire sells Crappy low quality stuff. And in
my opinion fiberglass is a pain to work with but
once you get started and the hang of it you
should be fine. (except for the fibers, itchy dust
but have fun)

Secondly what Brian and I were discussing was my
idea to provide a type of sealer along the edges of
the speaker enclosure to seal to the interior. My
idea was to buy some sort of "weather stripping"
foam strip or roll and apply to the enclosure before
securing against the interior, thus to provide a basic
seal for the enclosures. This should be available in
white or black (Hme Depot) otherwise I may use a
non-stick flexible type caulking to seal the edges.
Trust this might help you out some. Cheers


Allan
