carbon fibre plenumn spacer
right got bored of doing mundane jobs to engine and car while i wait for friggin customers to pay some (very) overdue bills to enable me to finish rebuild
have had a c/f starter kit for some time now but couldnt decide what to make then while trying to find someone local to make me an alloy spacer i had an epiphany-make it myself from carbon..........
started out with this as a mould
`banged` in some c/f and ended up with this
have decided on a matt finish as there aint any c/f under the bonnet and have rubbed down mating faces
plenum without spacer
and with (used some old yellows to make sure fit was ok b4 i knackered my greys)
please remember its my first attemp at c/f tho i am pleased with results i know where improvements can be made
oh am not sure about c/f resistance to petrol so all may be in vain,but nothing ventured nothing gained
Comments????
