Default DB2, RB6 Chassis protectors

I've just been sent a few chassis' and i'm now making chassis protectors for the DB2 and RB6.

They're made from a thick "stone chip" vinyl designed to protect "proper" cars from stone chip damage, it's a tough CLEAR vinyl and certainly stops the majority of damage to the chassis.

Unlike the standard chassis protector sheets you can buy, these are cut to the contour of the chassis and also have all the screw holes precut meaning that you can do any work without having to remove or replace it.

I can also make these from textured BLACK carbon fibre vinyl which does give less protection than the clear but does look real good....

I'm selling these for £3.75 each plus £1.25 postage (combined if you buy more than 1) and payment is by paypal gift or you pay the fees.

Anyone interested send me a pm..

Any chance of making them for the Yokomo Bmax 2?

I could send you one mate. Can send you a full size mastic one and an alloy centre chassis. Gives a choice for whatever people run.

Hi - they both look excellent but you have a team DB2 chassis there and the production ones are a fraction different shape

Does any one have a spare "production" DB2 chassis that i can borrow to finalise this design, i'm struggling to find one at the moment - i'm willing to cover the postage costs and get get it back to you within the week.
Cheers.

Hi Andy

I'm at Telford for the MAM on Sunday. If you're there, you can borrow my DB2 to draw round the chassis and mark the holes etc. I don't have a spare chassis to lend you unfortunately. Let me know if that's any use.

Hi Scott.

I'm a little late in replying but as it turned out with telford's meeting being cancelled i didn't really miss out!
If i don't find one before, i'll try to make it down to the next Telford MAM and take a look at the chassis.
Cheers.
Andy

I could photocopy a chassis if it helps and then measure the width and length to ensure the scaling is correct?
