fender weights

[bigdaddyIII]

anybody got any idea what difference in weight fiberglass fenders would have over steel fenders? im thinking about getting glass ones to cut down on weight.(and bodywork time)

you would cut a pound, pound and a half at most you would be better off taking a shit prior to the race.

i dont think you could even save a pound from the fenders possibly the fiberglass front end conversion but not just from fenders i think stock is like 1.5 lbs or so is all so why bother in the first place

 

[bigdaddyIII]

what do you mean front end conversion? hood, fenders, nose?

why not?

its a one piece fiberglass front end it is basically held in with a couple pins and most of the metal in the front end is removed and all that is there is a thin piece of fiberglass
