I think you are asking what the material is? It's a single layer of Kevlar but it's just in the area in front of the dry sump tank and really just to help with any larger object going through to the tank/lines/fittings. I would do 2 layers if I had to do it over, one is good...two solves it 100%. Just capitalizing on the better ballistic properties of the Kevlar in this area, I'm not really doing it to help with any spider cracks, though it would probably help there too. I'm going to gamble a bit with protecting the inners by doing a semi heavy coat of Raptor, maybe 4 layers on the part of the inners that can be seen from the engine bay. I built the inners so they could be removed without removing the fenders, sort of expect some repairs at some point. Hope that helps?
I was just wondering if you had done anything for the spider crack issue and I was saying that there is products for lamination for that issue. You have addressed it with the Kevlar so you should be covered to some degree.
