mirrored engine hatches
 

just wonder what you think of mirrored underside of engine hatches,if so would you use mirror plex or any other ideas or should I leave them natural. thanks in advance for your replies. also any pictures would help.

I have a 29 fever and used mirror plex (did'nt know it was called that) any how made a template for each side out of cardboard and took it to the plastic guy. they turned out grate and realy dress it up. i will take a pic tonight and post tomorrow. i say go for it!

Personally, I would do some 304 stainless mirror finish. With the plexiglass, you really need to be carefull on what cleaners you use. The stainless will definetly be more cost prohibitive but will last longer and the shine will be outstanding!!!

sorry about the double post, just noticed. the more pics the better,thanks again

Formula's come equipped from the factory with the mirrored hatches. It does look pretty cool. But that's a Formula for ya!!!:party-smiley-004:

Well i can't post pic's...hummmm
If you want i can email them to you?

Where do you buy the flexible mirror stuff? I've been told it works very well installed with velcro but I can't find it. I definitely am a fan of mirrored engine hatches.

I am lucky when it comes to that, may buddy owns a plastic shop, perception plastics 509-624-5408. Any plastic shop should be able to get it for you. I used 3m tape and then used screws with caps around the sides and never had a issue.
the tape holds the middle from moving.
One thing that i did have to do was make a splatter shild and install it over the drive coupler, it would throw greese up on the mirros after i greesed the fittings. And cleaning greese off is no fun. By the way only use cleaners that are made for plastic only!

MirrorPlex works well without adding the weight of stainless.

Attach easily with good quality 3M double-sided tape. Most any glass shop in your area will cut to your dimensions. DO NOT scratch the back side of the plexi when installing, it will show as a scratch when installed.
