Paging Cane ... drilling/cutting perspex.
|
In order to fit a vent to the new screen on the Wing, I need to cut a
hole in it (obviously).
Any special precautions needed?
Tape it up?
Slow or fast drill speed?
Dremel more suitable?
|
Dowload the Perspex Workshop Manual. That'll sort you.
|
Cheers, matey.

Although I suspect it's made from polycarbonate rather than acrylic.
|
"All Skidmarx screens are manufactured to the highest standards. We
take flat sheets of acrylic, and using our blowing and forming
techniques combined with our 25 years of experience, produce a range
of over 2000 different models of road and race screens."
|
That's me told then....
|
Heh. It looks like different stuff to the OEM screen, with much
sharper edges. Don't know how long it'll resist scratching, either.
|
Polycarbonate is usually used for protection because it's soft and
'gives' enough to survive an impact but ss a result it scratches
easily. Acrylic is harder but therefore more brittle. Both are easily
damaged by people cleaning them with chemicals. Dampcloth and a bit of
elbow grease is best.

So it looks like I'm okay, then.

IANAC, but I'd be tempted to use a very hot sharp pointy thing to melt a
hole in it and avoid any chance of creating stress cracks, but yeah,
Cane's yer maun.
