What is under the carpet?

Post by monster7 »

Gentlemen,

i tried to find some good pictures showing the interior of a HAWK FIA without the carpet. Is this all GRP? Or is Hawk using some aluminum?
I have a very clear picture in mind how my interior must be, so that's why i'm asking...

Thank you,
Ronald

The Hawk floor is a glassfibre/marine ply sandwich. On an original, it's aluminium. One sheet, 16 or 18ga, can't remember. No backing, no sound deadening, nothing. Just carpet, standard Karvel available from Woolies. None of yer Axminster fancy stuff etc. in a Cobra.

In a Hawk, the cockpit floor is structural. In a Cobra, it's just a few sheets to fill the gaps.
