My son and I are making a kind of rear hugger (except it’s not hugging the wheel) for his custom CG125 scrambler, it’s purpose is to stop spray from the back wheel hitting the foam air filter and it will cable tie to the frame and need enough flex to carry on up under the seat towards the rear light.
We brought some acrylic sheet in 3mm & 5mm and only the 3mm piece has enough flex to work, shaping it with a jig saw was fine but drilling 5mm holes for the cable ties has caused it to shatter. We used a brand new drill bit and the guidance is to use a worn drill bit to avoid the bit grabbing the sheet and damaging it.
I’m thinking of something along the lines of what’s used in plastic large volume fluid drums / containers. Needs to be flat not curved and allow a bit of bend / flex.
It’s must be black, ideally matt or satin.
Size is 575mm x 115mm.
Can anyone recommend any alternatives?
It’s one of these, which I now want:
