Hi all, im looking into stripping as much weight off my classic four door soon. Ive seen that changing the doors for grp fiberglass can save 75kg!! But i cannot find them anywhere. All ive found is group buys in various forums from years ago. So can anyone point me im the right direction for these kinda doors ? thanks in advance. Aaron.

Thanks mate just found them on here and sent them a p.m see whats avaliable

 

I have swapped two doors on my classic thanks to a hit and run and bloody hell they are heavy.

 

Wat are heavy mate the originals or the grp? Good weight savings?

 

Hmm, I wonder what the weight saving is over a stripped out metal door vs a fibre glass door?


Aaron_ions, have you got a cage with lateral protection? Otherwise fibre glass doors sounds like a bad idea.

 

Haha yes mate caged. And ive read u can strip total of 75kg if u do all four doors!

 

75kg is presumably compared to a full weight door, including glass?

I'm interested in fibre glass doors also, but I'd need to do some calculations first to make sure it's economically viable. I think the standard doors can be made fairly light if you remove the door cards, all the extra steel etc in them and replace the glass with lexan etc.

Oh, and I also haven't found any new age fibreglass doors

 

Well im not sure where i found it but this thread was a company boasting 75kg weight saving as a straight swap with fully built doors. So -75just from the weight ofthe fiberglass itself. If thats the case even lighter fully stripped with plexi class etc!
