Carbon products

haha,

I couldnt stay away

Your right though, i do get a little twitch when im working on them

Iv sourced a great discount on a 100m roll of 200gsm twill and 75kg of epoxy today, which will enable me to drop the price quite significantly. To justify buying materials in that quantity i would need to shift quite a few units so i was thinking of putting together an "austerity package"

This would include:

Carbon dash
Pair of carbon wheel arches
Flat carbon panel for boot lid, to keep price down and add a bit more stiffness due to the direction of the weave the flat and panel will be epoxy gel/carbon twill/epoxy resin as per usual but will be one layer of carbon backed up with 3 layers of glassfibre matting so structurally speaking this will be "cosmetic" carbon. Il do this with the dash aswell The current price works out at

Price all in delivered uk:

£250 with black edges on wheelarches and bottom of dash or
£260 with colour of choice on edges

Just as a comparison, in grp, posted these would work out at about £195

Would this be of interest to anyone?

hi , erm, nathan... will you be open on saturday morning??... thinking of popping in about 11 ish to have a look at your stuff, if thats ok... do you have a shop there??.. or is it just the workshop???...

Yes im in every day,
Would be nice to see another human being
Please dont expect anything more than a messy workshop with a 90% finished car, and if you want a coffee, please bring a mug and some milk
Dont worry about the toilet though, its alot better than spuds old one!

If anyone else fancies popping over i could bring the bbq to work, depending on weather and if handyandy can come and cook, you dont want any of my "swarf burgers" ha

Nathan, would it be possible for you to do the more slimline cycle wings in carbon? I much prefer the look of these to the wrap around type.

I would be very interested in the dash wheel arches and bootlid. How much would you charge for the following:

Nose cone - GRP - Red
Bonnet (small bulge) - GRP - Red
Scuttle - GRP - Red
Rear Wheel arches - GRP - Red
Aero Screen - GRP - Black
Rear diffuser - GRP - Black

Slimline cycle wings - Carbon
Dash - Carbon
Boot panel - Carbon/fibreglass

I'd be able to pick them up, but it would be a little while before I ordered, say a couple of months at the most I think.

Also just as an idea would it be possible to have some threaded studded embedded into the cycle wings so that you don't need to drill them/have some ugly fasteners showing?

looks good, what process are you using to make the parts, gel coat wet lay then vacuum bag, or are you doing infusion?
