BrettJ Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Is anyone looking for a set of half doors, these are the carbon effect ones made out of ABS plastic by Steve at YC Plastics, which is much safer than real carbon should you have an accident IMO. I need four additional orders for these to go into production. The price are £100 per pair + £15 shipping within the UK. Please could you email Steve directly steve@ycplastics.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davestarcraft Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Would these fit an SV ie. a CSR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Bolton Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Is it "one size fits all"? I have a 420R SV (lowered floor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Bolton Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Sorry for all the questions! One more.....fitting....how do these fit and do they come ready to fit to car or is some work needed e.g. addition of poppers? Can't tell from photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Bolton Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Email received from Steve regarding SV and fitting.....see below. Hope it helps!These were originally made for the S3 ChassisI don`t know if they would fit?As far as i have been told the Series 5 is just wider so technically they should fit but i cannot be 100% sureIf you are happy on that basis yes I can supply theseThere is prework required the one Brett put in the picture has been trimmed back further and shaped with a hot air gunThere are many ways to fit them I have seen people use pop studs lining them up with the original fixings.Also screwed on and even people have developed hinges for themOn race cars they tend to use cable ties or industrial velcro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettJ Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 @ bluenose, could you please email Steve to place your order at steve@ycplastics.co.uk@ dave@starcraft & Neil Bolton, I've asked if he does a SV version, I'll update once I hear back.@ Bucko, could you please email Steve to place your order at steve@ycplastics.co.uk@ Neil Bolton, yes they'll need some fettling to fit, especially if you wish for it fit inside the scuttle at the front. This requires you to heat the plastic and curve the front profile as these are straight when made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettJ Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 @ Neil Bolton, I have an S3 if you need some measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Bolton Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Thanks for all the info! At this stage, think I'll pass but good luck with it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Jones Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 All, I have measured my SV and the "door threshold" is 500mm, could someone confirm if this is the same size as a S3 If so then I will place an order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettJ Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 @ D Jones, I've just measured my S3 and it 430mm max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Jones Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Brett, thanks for the info, so, S3 = 430mm SV = 500mm that would explain the fact that my carbon cills fitted by the previous owner have always looked too small (they are obviously S3).If SV versions were to be manufactured, i would place an order, but for the moment count me outthank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigCol Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 As per D Jones and dave@starcraft, if a version for the SV (Sensible Version) were to be offered, then I'm in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire West AR Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Received my new half doors from Steve at YC Plastics. They seem well made but thicker(4mm) than I thought. Any tips on shaping them? Had a quick go with a heat gun but no luck in shaping them.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan R Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I would be interested in a set for an SV. I will email Steve and will update on here if and when i get a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCol Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 re #21... as above in #18, I'd be interested... fingers crossed Dan R! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan R Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 So i have emailed Steve regarding his half doors for an SV. His reply is as follows - "Unfortunately because the SV is not just wider, its longer i dont think the current ones fit."In reply i have asked him if there are any plans on making an SV version, or to put it another way, what would make that viable? I am yet to receive a reply and will update if and when i do I suspect it may not be viable for them to produce SV doors, but lets wait and see.

BigCol Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Dan R said or to put it another way, what would make that viable? indeed, that's the appropriate question, how many pre-orders (and expectation of future business) would justify the time/effort of developing the moulds.

James420R Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 reading this thread, I think there will be a fair few pre orders for the SV - I would be another very keen to order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
