battery cover and fuse cover
Monday, April 06, 2009 4:38 PM

Any sugestions for a DIY Battery cover and a fuse cover? What would be the best option for material? Can it be fiberglass? metal?

I already have a mold (cast) made of cardboard (it took me several hours and its perfect!) and I know the easisest, cheapest way would be to cover this cardboard mold with carbon fiber vynil but Im not sure if this will stand temperatures under the hood.

Since I want to do it right Im asking for suggestions for the best available material. I got nothing but time...

Easiest way will probably be to cover your perfect mold with some fiberglass/resin and sand it smooth. You can get these covers made in metal, then you just have to get the battery post covers so they do not arc out.
