I am planning on making a carbon fibe hood for my brothers’ truck that is 42 1/2"x 55 1/2" inches. I don’t know what to do for a pump and hope that someone can help me with my problem. I would like to find one for around $200 if possible. Thanks, Mac.
Yoy can check the below link, I have buy one of them in low cost before some years ago. The quality is really very good without any problems.
Would the 5cfm robinair #15500 pump be good enough for the hood?
Yes it is good enough. Do a vacuum drop test and make sure it is leak free.
I think yes!!!
CFM isn’t that important, so long as the pump gives good vacuum. High CFM is mostly important for larger parts by evacuating the bag faster.
