Side panel material (Read 63 times)

SavageMan99 Senior Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 391	Side panel material 06/15/20 at 17:14:31 I'm looking to make a couple side filler panels to put under my seat and hide the gap and electronics. It needs to be something black, that is a bit flexible, and able to be drilled. I'm thinking some sort of plastic. I've no idea what to look for that is solid enough to look good, and soft enough to not crack or crease.

Fairly firm but flexible...

They get pvc sheets in 1/4 - 3/4 thickness 4' x 4'. Always have scrap laying around. Drills like plastic(duh), and bends with a heat gun, or blow dryer. Check out thier dumpster. I've made a lot of stuff with that stuff.

Amazon has Black ABS sheets in a variety
of sizes, thicknesses, and textures.

ABS is rigid enough to hold it's own shape
yet somewhat flexible for ease of fitting.
It can also be formed into shape using heat.

Here's a 1 foot square piece, 1/16 inch thick
for $ 6.37 :

For that price it might be worth an experiment.
I haven't tried it myself but it sounds promising.

Happy to ship whatever you need for cost of shipping. PM me if interested.
