Lexan Interior for the Ford MKII GT40: Original NSR Spare Part to Keep Your Slot Car in Perfect Condition

The lexan interior is one of those components that makes a difference between a well-maintained slot car and one that starts to show signs of wear. NSR manufactures this interior specifically for its Ford MKII GT40 (reference NSR1409), ensuring a perfect fit without modifications or adaptations.

Function and Performance

Lexan is the material of choice in the slot car world for interiors and bodies for a clear reason: it is lightweight, impact-resistant, and easy to work with. This interior reproduces the cockpit of the GT40 with the characteristic level of detail of NSR, providing visual realism without adding unnecessary weight to the overall vehicle.

In club racing, reducing non-structural weight is one of the first optimisations made. Having a lexan interior in good condition helps maintain the car's balance without sacrificing aesthetics.

Compatibility

This part is designed exclusively for the NSR Ford MKII GT40. Before placing your order, verify that your model corresponds exactly to this version, as NSR produces different variants of the GT40 and the interiors may differ between them.

Installation and Preparation

The installation process is straightforward: the interior fits into the body following the manufacturer's original anchoring points. No special tools are required. If the interior is to be painted or customised, lexan accepts acrylic-based paints well — such as those from Vallejo or Tamiya — applied from the reverse side for greater durability and a finish without visible brush marks on the exterior.

Ideal for…

• Replacing a damaged or lost interior after a track accident.
• Customising the GT40 cockpit with your own decoration.
• Completing a restoration or race preparation while maintaining original NSR components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this interior compatible with all versions of the NSR Ford GT40?

It is specifically designed for the NSR Ford MKII GT40. If you have another version of the GT40 from the brand, we recommend checking before placing your order to confirm exact compatibility.

Can I paint this lexan interior?

Yes. Lexan accepts acrylic paints without issue. The usual technique in the hobby is to paint from the reverse side of the piece to protect the finish and avoid marks. Brands like Vallejo or Tamiya offer suitable colours for this application.

Does the interior include driver figures or other accessories?

The available information pertains solely to the lexan interior (NSR1409). We cannot confirm if it includes additional elements; if this detail is important to you, please consult us before purchasing.

Is it a fragile part?

Lexan is significantly more impact-resistant than conventional ABS plastic, so it withstands the usual bumps encountered in track use. However, a direct and severe impact can damage it, hence the importance of having this spare part on hand.

The NSR1409 is a lexan interior replacement specifically designed for the NSR Ford MKII GT40 slot car in 1/32 scale.
