We need a new online source for shrouding plastic.
 

BSR doesn't seem to carry it anymore. Hustler showed me a link to hrpworld.com, but they want $3.40 per foot and a 50 foot minimum order...

I'd like to get this done next weekend but need material first. Halp!

Nothing? No one?

In that case, I'll need to look locally. Optimal would be to find a plastics supplier here in San Angelo - not likely. But if I did, what is it I'd need to ask for? ABS? Are there any types of plastic to avoid? What about sheetmetal from Home Depot (flashing)?

I don't see why sheetmetal wouldn't work... Just make sure you have a good seal and it should be good to go. A lot of people I know use aluminum sheet to make their DIY shrouds.

Is this for cooling ductage or for aero?

Pretty sure it is for cooling...

Try this company.

Actually, now that I think of it... You could always buy a sheet of lexan (if for cooling) and cut it out. They sell it pretty much anywhere...

Lowe's (4' X 3' sheet): http://www.lowes.com/pd_239982-1638-...4_?identifier=

Are you sure? I just searched and found it. Unless you tried to order and failed.

If this is for ducting, find a local sign making company and get some corrugated plastic aka coroplast. A 4'x8' sheet is cheap, about $25 IIRC. It comes in colors but if you need it fast you will have to take what they have in stock. It is polyethylene so it can be tough to get adhesives/tape to stick. But if you flame treat it they will stick fine. Google poly flame treat and you will see what I mean. I have done it and it works.

I have used thin aluminum sheet from Ace hardware for rad and IC ducting and its worked incredibly well. It is like 25 bucks for a 2X3 sheet, but it doesnt rust, its light, maleable, durable, and if you sand it up it will take whatever color.

I wonder why BSR doesn't have this shit anymore?

i still have a shit ton leftover... I wont need it, maybe i can sells some off.

BTW my local sign company could order ABS sheets for me in whatever thickness I wanted so if you want ABS, call a sign company.

I think i got a 50' roll...might have used 20' between three cars.

I don't think that's the same stuff M2, seems thicker.

Brain - if you can sell me some that'd be great.

I will probably need some in a couple months (june-july-ish). But if you want it out of your house sooner than that, let me know and I'll come get it. :D
