Carbon Fibre Radiator end caps


Recommended Posts

I've been threatening to do this for some time.......but Mandy got me a couple of kits for Christmas , so I've no excuse now..... :wink:


Stage one is making the moulds.......which I think have come out ok........just need a bit of trimming and polishing ready for laying the carbon in...... 8-)


More pics to come, once I get the moulds how I want them.....and then have a bash at the carbon fibre laminating...... 8-)

So, after a bit of a delay I finally managed to trial run the Carbon Fibre......a few air voids and other little issues, but I think I'm heading in the right direction....... 8-)
