Ok so i may be getting my hands on some genuine carbon fibre moulds for some items how hard is it to make carbon fibre items from genuine moulds

I have the patience and the environment at work to do it, but is there anything special i might require or any tips on what to do

lets say i was doing the plug cover on the RB25 what would i need to get and what sort of cost is involved in it......

using the above as an example......

Really easy mate if you have the moulds.

Look at carbonmods.co.uk (where I get my stuff from).

Their carbon fibre starter kit will have more than enough to make a plug cover from and it will take no more than a few days to make. The cost is around £50 delivered and you get quite a lot for your money. Just order the high temp kit, as the resin is designed for higher temps.

I'll talk to you about it later if you want too Smile

Not tricky at all.

Best tip ever? Cheap vinegar will wash off (uncured) epoxy resin. Nothing else seems to touch the stuff (without also removing your skin...)
