Ginge !

ive FINALLY found someone willing to try and make me a front splitter for my chavaru from carbon,,,, well the thing is he makes them already from fibreglass,, he aint worked with carbon so ive done a deal that if i supply the materials he will give it a go,,, so i need to know what i need to make carbon in a mould but like the fibreglass way and not in a autoclave if that makes sence

next stop...... carbon roof !

ginge its nothing like fibreglass, if he hasnt done it you stand as uch of a chance, i can do flat objects or bends but funny shaped take skill and prob wont have it from laying fibreglass. other thing to consider is the expense to him to play with it and learn? not cheap

Ginge !

hes already got the mould that he makes the same splitter with,,,, he is intersted in giving it a shot,,, and i cant fine anyone that makes a carbon splitter for a impreza that i want so its the only alternative,,,,, its still a fairly basic shape tbh and this bloke works woth fibreglass moulds already

Are you wanting twill weave or just the plain carbon?

I repeat http://www.carbonmods.co.uk/


Easy

I must admit ive been considering giving this a go. Agreed it does 'look' easy going by the youtube videos. The key is getting the weave right using the proper twill carbon. Its the more complicated bits that will be harder no doubt. Im sure it would take a bit of pratice to get something anywhere near half decent, but im going to order a kit and give it a shot anyway.

All you need is a bit of common sense and the ability to use your hands and it really is simple.

Just have to take your time, relax and enjoy learning a new skill which results in really cool Carbon bits!

I was looking at doing this aswell. But I was looking at sourcing all the bits from different places so I would be buying a larger start up to make either bigger things or more smaller items. Not 100% sure as to all I would need to get though. A bit confussed about what resin what etc

With regards to the moulding, forgive me if I'm wrong but I thought they had to be poored in to a mould then it sets etc and away you go! Carbon isn't like that

EBAY!!

I can put you onto someone who does this, they haev autoclave and all as well, big enough to walk into!!
He works with poly/fibreglass/carbon etc, also have a 3 axis CNC on hand for making difficult moulds.
I could ask if you want ?, if so pm me.
