[DeTomaso] Lexan?

[Torbjørn Harlem]

Hi.
Lexan has also the strength to be taken in a sheet metal tool that makes 90 degrees bend. From 8mm and thicker you most heat the area witch is to be bend, ( with a powerful hairdryer) I've done it lot of times. Work perfect and as Tommy stated is`t no problem to make treads in the material. It's also some special glue that "melt" the parts together with almost an invisible seem.

Best of luck with your "box" project.

>From Wikipedia I learned that Lexan is polycarbonate. Lucite is another
name for plexiglas which is polymethylmethacrylayte.

I think when people say plexiglass these days they mean Lexan or Lucite,
which are both brand names for polycarbonate, if I am not mistaken.

Lexan is far superior in strength and scratch resistance to plexiglass
and is not expensive.

I made removable side windows for my Abarth and a clear cover for the
airbox on my Dino with it-- very easy to work with, can be threaded and
polished nicely.

Hey Guys.
want to build a plexiglass intake box for my IR system. I want to
duplicate 
hat Goran has done to his. He hasn't got back to me.
http://www.hemipanter.se <http://www.hemipanter.se/> 
Picture of box about 20% way down.
What type of plexi-glass should I use? Or should it be lexan? There will
be heat 
nd vibration, of coarse, so what is the best material? I'm thinking 3/8"
thick? 
an I drill and tap or will the vibration cause cracks eventually?
ill
