Be
sure to wear proper gear before attempting to do any cutting.
Our tools of destruction (from top center, clockwise in to middle):
A sanding wheel, a 24 tooth jigsaw blade, de-burring tool, routing
bit, and a wheel sander.
With proper gear, you're ready to rock!
A few notes on cutting:
Be sure to sand all cuts to a smooth finish, especially where
the hood will contact the sled. Rough edges will cause chaffing
which leads to cracking. Make all radiuses no tighter than a
regular
button for a shirt: NO 90º ANGLES! Sharp angles will lead
to cracks. If using rivets, be sure to drill the hood larger
than
the rivet will expand. LEXAN DOES NOT EXPAND! No harsh chemicals
such as brake cleaner, engine degreaser, acetone, paint thinner,
or similar products should be used to clean your BR Tech hood.
Simple cleaners such as mild soap and water, Windex, Pledge,
Plexus,
or Novus 1 or 2, are highly recommended. No buffing or rubbing
is required.
!!NOTE ON PAINTING!!
Be sure to use ONLY Lexan approved paints. Body
paints will cause hoods to become brittle and loose its flexing
ability. To read more on paints and painting, use the link below.
