Which new S2 crash pad?

PostPost by: 661 » Fri May 29, 2015 10:41 am

I'm looking for a S2 crash pad for a GTS racer.
What are the Paul Matty shells like? Do they look reasonably kosher?
Any experience with Sports Car World, Dave Bean, R D Enterprises or 26 Register variants?
Thanks

Well, Graeme, I've been waiting for someone to comment on this since I need one for my S1. Last I heard it sounds like the 26 Register crash pad's are, once again, not available.

I think that is correct ,Kurt. At least on your side of The Pond you appear to have two vendors.
I've spoken to Matty and their product is a shell of plastic, no fibreglass or foam. It was said that it is rigid enough to be used on its own, but I can't imagine it would like a hand leaning on it.
This is a very visible component and there's nothing like actually seeing one in the flesh in order to make a decision. I suspect I'll have to find lots of owners at the next Revival and poke around their cars.
