Is there a way i can repair the front of my graphite chassis where it is delaminating at the front edge?



Thanks in advance

What i have done on mine is squirt a bunch of medium CA in there and clamp it until dry then sand and file the edge.

I will give that a whirl, cheers

If that does not work, cut the bad section and make a new "factory edge"

i would still like to know why associated did not include a bumper for the graphite cars. or for that matter, even offer one period.

For delamination like this, the chassis front part should be loaded with low viscosity cyanoacylate, no accelerator, then sand down

what is the best thing to cut it with Reg?

Cutting it? in my persona experience, carborundum disc on a rotary instrument like a dremel.

yeah, cutting it. I have never cut a graphite chassis before, the cutting disks for the rotary tool sounds like what I was thinking.

I did this one using my benchtop belt sander.

They wanted you to buy a new $50 chassis not a $3 bumper?
