Overhead Console

Post by leffler »

Geoff Combs ( Aerosport Products ) stopped by today with my new carbon fiber overhead console. I must say that I was rather impressed with the quality and fit. It fits perfectly, so I won't have to do all the sanding and filling that others have done with the fiberglass overheads. It's also significantly lighter than the fiberglass overheads too. Since it's hot off the press, or should I say vacuum bag, the access panels, air vents, and clothes hangar haven't been installed yet.

Now that is pretty sweet! Have those had any structural testing for roll over events, etc.? I know Van's did some testing on theirs.

Nice piece!

I'm not aware of any testing other than what Van's has performed.
