ehh thats annoying but thanks guys. maybe ill start with just a topmount with cheap wood. and anyone found cheaper foam or is it gonna be $80? cos for something im gonna cut up and maybe only use once...

i agree a 2inch drop would probably be suicide with hoop pine really better off with venneer like bamboo and strengthening it with fibre glass or carbon. yeah i adam i reckon a jig is the way to go...wish i could find one.

If you can get the hoop made in Aussie it's pretty good but a 2 inch drop will be a major issue with that type of ply. Oh and wheel wells. Grrrrrr don't get me started.
They are a mission. Unless you can set up some kind of jig. Alex its function that matters. So well done.

the boards bellow that i made are made of 4mm hoop pine from bunnings and it was very good quality wood and has a stamp saying "Made in Australia" might have been fake i dont know but it was still really nice wood and easy to work with apart from the god damn wheel wells, fuck i dont know how you guys do it but it took me ages! i used belt sanders, orbital/osilating sanders...a router and the end result of near a day and a half is still un-semetrical but at least they actually work.

No Bunnings ply is average at best. No quality control. All made from foriegn timber poor glue. Ok for experimenting with drop throughs and top mounts but I doubt very much a 2 inch drop would last long at all.

5 hours later and ive read the whole thing... still got a few questions though sorry. would the cheap ply from bunnings give a 2 inch drop in the dimm press? and for a clamp should i just make one? cheers

Sweet build Alexander with some gnarly cave!

 

Dude, Dimm press is great, where to find foam has been covered several times in this thread. Read through the whole thing and everything will be come clearer. Cut out your shape after pressing..
