Awesome write-up! Too bad I just dropped coin for a Wheelbuilder cover a couple weeks ago. I look forward to DIY'ing my next set though! WOuld you say the .04 is about the right thickness? Looking back would you rather have thicker or thinner material?


I've done a version with 0.020" styrene sheet (the stuff for sale signs are made of). Not quite as durable, but lighter. For the seam I used matching electrical tape (white in my case).

I'm guessing that if I could use 20 mil styrene, 20 mil ABS would work too.

To the OP, great job! The final product looks really professional.

PS: You can use a modified version of this method to make a deep-V front.
