Default RE: SIG 2Piece Cowl Installation


ORIGINAL: r2champion

Just a thought about ABS vs. Fiberglass cowls, what would be wrong with putting your ABS cowl together and putting a layer of fiberglass covering the entire inside? Wouldn't this give the strength and rigidity of a fiberglass cowl, or atleast stronger than just ABS? There would be an increase in overall weight, but from my experience, and ABS cowl is lighter than a fiberglass cowl to begin with right? I have only dealt with a couple of cowls in my builds so far, one fiberglass and one ABS. Therefore I'm lacking the knowledge rule this out as an option. Any thoughts are appreciated!
ABS with fiberglass inside will weigh more than fiberglass, but is a good alternative if $$ is tight.
