Mounting the doors on the R

[Brando]

Chad I know you had a few ideas. Care the share them?

[C.Plavan]

Sure-

#1 I am thinking about skinning the doors with Aluminum (for safety and mounting purposes). I was going to try to use these roll bar clamps and somehow attach them to the aluminum on the door on a few places on the cage. That way you can always remove the door with a few bolts.

#2 Some of these roll bar clamps have swivel ends so you could also run a rod through it (Sort of like a hinge) and lock it down.

#3 I can 3D print up some brackets (ABS)



Those are just some initial thoughts before mounting them. My goal is to be able to remove them easily if I need to work on stuff (removing seat, adjust belts etc)

There is no wrong way to mount a door as long as it stays put.

So on my challenge car, which has a very similar cage and door design as the R, I made the door removable as there is always something I need to get at, I put the doors on dzus fasteners and made aluminum mounts that the fasteners attached to and also made guides that I fiberglassed to door to hold door in place and the dzus fasteners hold it down

So there is no inner panel as C.Plavin is thinking of doing in aluminum?

Unfortunately no

Here is what I did on my door for my challenge car as the first pic is of the dzus fasteners that hold the door down, second pic is of the tabs I put on the door and third pic is the door area and the tabs slide in keeping the door in place and the fasteners hold the door down

I had them send me the inner fiberglass door liners. I am going to use those as a template for mounting purposes.

Was looking at the FFR racer today. Aluminum on the bottom and six or so inches up top was CF. I don't think I will use anything and route wiring, etc on the outside of the frame.
