That picture only shows the internal side, which was made from 300 gram glass as it is used purely for mounting the door to its hinges. The external is the part of the door made in carbon, as this is the part that takes any impact. This is how we make all doors unless a customer specifies carbon internals.

The outer of the doors were a white finnish also jay even looking in from the back you could see the fiberglass on the door skin..
You would think that if you ordered carbon doors they would come like the pics of carbon above maybe re inforced with kevlar or such likes around the hinge area after all there shouldnt be alot of weight on the doors. I had a look in the photobucket account but cant find any pics of the doors before paint

maybe a 3mm hole with a role pin would be the answer

Andy have a look at these I was thinking something like that a hightensile m4 bolt through the UJ and the rack stub to secure it all and stop the splines from ever shifting.

They may be able to offer something, or at least something with a better grade metal

Unbelievalbe how fast you are going. Made some impressive progress, good to hear you're fine. Carbon is some nice stuff you can do some amazing things with it.
Gonna ask friend of mine if he can made a scuttle panel out of carbon for me... just for my RSi

Have you/harvey come up with a solution on the lifter shims yet on your car?
It looks like my recent bent valves on the nova are a result of the same issue that you had at TOTB, so Ive decided to convert mine now to RS200 ones which as luck would have it are a direct fit for my arrow lifters, they basically sit on upside down and have a much larger return on them that goes right up dick that sticks out on the bucket, rather than just sitting on top of the valve, so its impossible for them to come off, might be worth looking into something similar for yours?
