Jesse. Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I have no idea what this section is called. But about 20% of it is in rust. I was thinking about converting it to carbon fiber. Is it possible.? Is there anyone who can create the carbon piece.? Is it even possible to do so due to the fact that its all one piece with the firewall.? HELP.!

at-jefft Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Called Cowl. http://www.carbonfiberhoods.com/cbk-carbon-fiber-oem-cowl-datsun-260z-1974-1974.html I'm sure there are more/better place to buy one as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse. Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 But its a zx. So it cant be unscrewed like its able to with the z because its all one piece with the firewall. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yeah that needs to be cut out and replaced with metal, and its probably worse under the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse. Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Exactly, so it cant be done.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenfood Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) In short no. But technically speaking yes it "can" be replaced with carbon fiber. Although I would advise against it. If its a carbon fiber look your going for perhaps it would be better if you did either a metal patch repair or replacment of the cowl then do a single layer bond or vynle wrap it. I am also try to decied between repair and replace for a friend (hot tip only do free labor for people you REALLY like) and it is reasonably complex peice to remove and requires the glass to be out.

Maybe in the end I'll just the Meguiar's carbon fiber wrap.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
