Interprep 65lb seat pressure, 195lb open pressure.
Ferrea 75lb seat pressure, 195lb open pressure.

As a side note the ZE exhaust spring assembly are the same as DE, its only the ZE intake springs, retainers, locks and lifters differ.

Anyway...Epic build Nd4SpdSe :)

I picked up my CF hatch a few days ago. Unfortunately it was late so I dropped it off at my grandmothers and left. But I did take some pics of it in transport. Sorry, I just had my camera's phone. I left the better for my camera at home.

I had to attach it to the roof-rack...it was about 1-2" too wide to fit inside.

I'll take some pics of it over the weekend.

I love having a truck, so useful, even for my Mx-3 :)

Nice!
Good photograhpy choice; contrasting it against the snow :wink:
I'm glad you put up pics because it let's me know that I CAN extend the top Lexan window piece to cover where the garnish/ spoiler would go, and meet the small window piece.
It's going to be cool.
I was bending 20 sets of window visors yesterday, and got a good feel for how to work it without overheating, and screwing up the material. It's a little tricky.
I can make them to sell.

Thanks! Ya, I did that for the contrast and the light, but on the flipside the bright snow made it hard to focus on the dark hatch. Taking it more light to get more details of the hatch would cause the light to oversaturate the picture and make it worse. I did what I could. If you need more pics let me know.

Glad to know it working...can you use the original hatch glass as a mold to get the shape? Rest it on top and let it curve to the shape exactly? I'm still going to order the MS one eventually. But in case that doens't work out, i'll get one of yours. The thing is, I would want an OEM style glass so I can put my garnish and a wing.

Yes. For the other guys, we're going to take the glass out intact, and use it for a mold. If we get 2 intact, we can sandwich it between the 2. With mine, I'm just going to leave it long.

So your going to use 2 MX-3 hatch glass' to make a mold. Then what? heat the plexi and smoosh it between the two hatch glass' ?? Interesting very curious. Ed Roth wanted a plastic bubble for one of his show cars. He approached one of the big three and they wanted a few thousand bucks for it. So he took a piece of plexiglass, put it in his friends pizza oven, got it hot and then he put compressed air under it and.....poof!! a bubble roof!

Fowljesse, you should forget the carbon fiber hatch and put a bubble top on the MX-3! :lol:

Oh Gawd...don't give him an idea like that!!!

Actually...he'd never do that. It's not aerodynamic.

I am going to give him every crazy idea I come up with and then, live precariously through Fowljessie via the forum as he tries everything I dream-up, but am to chicken to try out for myself. :lol:
