Fairing restoration?

[Adderboy]

Rather than just going for a new set of fairing I was wondering if anyone knows of any firms that do fairing restoration, as I'd much rather spend 300 quid restoring original panels than buying Chinese ones.

Depending on how knackered your pannels really are...but you can get some amazing results doing it yourself using Plastech.

Some old pictures but this was a nose cone fron a set of crash damaged fairings I aquired after I binned mine. They were knackered - but nowhere near as bad as mine so I set about refurbishing them.

Thankfully I had the lose midle piece so stuck that to the upper pice of the (now) 3, let it set and then stuck those in the correct orientaion to the rest of the nose cone.


Use a dremmel or such like to create a good 'v' at the joining faces and some form of tape/mold for any large 'void' areas then apply the plastech. Might need to do it a bit at a time for larger areas and let it set well.


Overfill slightly then rub back )drill any holes) and smooth whole repair ready for paint..


Test fitting..


That nose cone became the front end of my Rothmans Mk1 and the repair even survived when I got taken out (RH side in back of picture), sadly the other side of the nose cone did not do so well - so it was out with the plastech again....


Blody good stuff - IMHO

Wow thats pretty impressive, I'm inspired to have a stab at it myself now :-)
