That looks lovely. When I did my grp ones I couldn't get the edges as good as that.

no worries,

you need to go to the pic, hover over it, do right click properties and copy the long name thing.

then past that into the message and put [/img] after it and [/img] before, i have reversed these here otherwise it will think there is a pic to display.

yeah, these were a first go to make sure the mould was okay.

the next set will be done so they slot over, instead of being folded.

but i didnt know the thickness for the slot at the time!

The look great and not rot again.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Yeah, 2 part epoxy would do it.

No rot of course. . but most importantly . . . weight




94g a piece!

prepreg indeed, i'm looking at making some, as i can now do prepreg at home.

What would people be willing to pay for them? just so i can cost up whether it might be worth it.

cheers

put a price you have in mind and then i think you may have some interest.


otherwise you'll get people saying they'll pay £10 etc...
