I just came upon this great site. I have been looking for info and products to aid me in dropping weight on our speed run snowmobiles. I am looking to develop a basic working knowledge of different techniques used in building various composite parts. I hope to start by building smaller parts such as steering posts, handle bars, covers and brackets. I would then like to try some body panels and ultimately would like to eventually build a complete composite chassis! If anyone could recommend books or online training programs it would be much appreciated!
Thx in advance.

welcome
I'd be starting with the body panels and working back from there tbh, it will be a lot easier to learn on and they are not structurally critical parts

As far as I remember from my few thousand hours on Ski-Doo's, large parts of snowmobiles are rather heavy big plastic panels and other "coverings" They will save you a lot of weight if reproduced in CF/kevlar (A bit like Motorbike fairing parts) Probably much more than doing smaller structural parts in solid/thick CF.
And, although bigger, they are easier to make...
