One piece Mazda front end came out of the mold this morning. 18Lbs including the honeycomb undertray. The original hood weighed more. I'm going to have a few Scotches tonight for sure and clean the workshop tomorrow. Then it's back to normal. :cheers:

Thanks Frank. I'm going to start the wheel discs on Monday. How many Dzuz fasteners do you use to attach them?.

Now I see the advantages are great.  That is much, much, less weight than a hand laid fiberglas piece.

3 per Don. Are you using a Moon disc template to layout the hole location?

The three Dzus is the minimum, you can do four if you like.

I'll get the measurements for you this afternoon. Tman, four would be bad as I already have three tabs welded to my wheels.

I didn't read that part where they were  for yours. I made that statement in general.
