==Thing 2==


Ok so I spent Sunday on the end of a paint-brush, some fiber-glass and resin... fun and games

mesh insert for strength and support of the middle mounting point, glassed over with 3 layers.

Metal backing plate for more support on the mounting point, the shape and size of the metal was ground out of the plastic around the hole, 
overkill maybe... it looks like its been thinly glassed, but there is 2 layers there + the 3 on the inside. Problem shown next to it as an indicator

inner mounting point (near the radiator) glassed with 4 or so layers, came out really strong, quite pleased with the result.

Top of the other inner mounting point, nothing to glue back into place, so a mesh insert was made, and it was glassed over from behind, have done over the top, but no pics yet.

Cracked off guard mounting point, inside and outside glassed and cleaned up.


Have fully paid off my GTS1 wing copy from Cazz, so that will arrive this week some-time,
I'm going away for 3 days so sanding and bogging willl have to start on thursday, got a wedding on the weekend, so I wont get much done till later next week.

dont be afraid to have a go at glass repairs, a $28 kit is all you'll need for something like what I'm doing, I'll have left-overs for sure. if you're not a complete fool with mechanics or DIY stuff, then give it a go, just make sure you wear the right protective equipment!
