®evo03 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Think this is a dragons den topic, How many will you sell? Every manta owner in the world times two, as they will buy a spare. Any ideas for making new alternative? Anyone? Im thinking expanding foam, imagine the mess! Seriously, im thinking tiger seal, stanley blades, and rubber black paint, to restore, or sheets of 3mm rubber, tiger seal, and lots of work. Minus the GM stamp to remake! What does it do, insulate to keep heat in? Or is to keep moisture out? Maybe both, is it sound deading? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimpas Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 If you have the original cracked and in pieces do the following. Put all pieces in order from one side using some kind of metal clips to hold them. Spray many layers of rubber undercoat(not with wax ) so to create a new skin for it. Spray both sides of the rubber. Many layers and let each layer to dry really well . In the end you will have a NEW reinforced sound deadening ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
