Carbon flat floor! How to make composite carbon sheet panels. How light is too light?

[@robs5036]

Nice video, great inspiration 👍🏼 But please wear a mask when grinding composite material!

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thanks, will do!

[@jamesmedina2062]

thanks for sharing. Only problem is you should be wearing mask to cut it. Protect your lungs! More important than eyewear! I been wanting to make underbody panel using fiberglass. Thanks for vid.

[@Capitan_Papen1918]

WOOW I really want to learn to build that stuff like you do, really great job

[@RuskiWeldFab]

It’s easy! That’s why I make those video so people can do it themselves

[@Kapil-Patel]

Fascinating build with a very interesting material. Nice editing and choice of song. 👍🏽

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thank you for your support

More marginal gain’s 👍🏻 have to say my ocd found the Timelapse of levelling out the vacuum film on the table with the tape most satisfying 😂

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Haha I thought you would enjoy that 😝. Also almost polished the board first

[@lurcheradogs4life]

Well done buddy, every gram counts 👏 👍. Inspired me for my mx5 turbo aspirations for a flatt floor.. I have a splitter, and just recieved my mini gp2 rear diffuser......Soooo just Need to connect them together with a FLAT BOTTOM Floor..this may be my solution.. keep up the good work 👏 🙌

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thanks! 5kg is good saving in weight

[@matk22]

Love it!.... 5kg down low makes less that a difference up high... But 5kg is 5kg...

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Every little helps

@@RuskiWeldFab Isn't that tesco's motto?

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

I was guessing 18 pounds for the complete aluminum floor and just under half that for the composite one. Quite a way off on the aluminum guess but pretty close on the composite.

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Yeah very close

[@AndyPonting]

Spot on mate 👍🏻

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Cheers!!

[@WilliamHardy-ez2ms]

What’s the core material and end thickness please?

[@FooFahFoeFum]

Hello Ruskiweldfab: I was under the impression that a slight bend to the undertray ( center about 1.5 inches - 50 mm lower than the front and rear wheel area) would produce more LOW PRESSURE = OR MORE SUCTION DOWN , than a straight flat floor.... Any thoughts or experiences with that?

[@jimmyjones_uk]

How do you spell the name of that fabric? Struggling to find it. Keep up the good work. 👌

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Called Diolen www.easycomposites.co.uk/200g-22-twill-black-diolen-cloth

[@jimmyjones_uk]

Awesome thanks for that.

[@Clayton_S]

What material is that you are using?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Diolen

[@Paul_Gale]

what are you using for the vacuum ? shop vac?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

No. Usualy dedicated vac pump

[@DetoxHitmanClinic]

can you spell the material name you used? Ive never heard of that before and i was about to get into making carbon parts. Something cheaper for a start would be good to know

[@toca_ms]

Diolen

[@joeldavis3152]

How thick was the aluminium floor?

[@RuskiWeldFab]
