One using Carbon Fibre & the other a resin casting Re. the casting, I searched the forum for an answer without any luck... How fuel & oil resistant are the various resins?. By that I mean pump petrol & mineral engine oil. The casting would not be directly soaked in fuel or oil but could potentially be spattered with small amounts of fuel or handled by oily hands / gloves; Or perhaps the question should be; which resin would you not use in such circumstances? The casting is a steering damper knob for a vintage motorcycle so the resin will have to take some firm hand tightening force on it but not a massive amount & perhaps be resistant to the occasional light knock without cracking or shattering chunks off. There will be a brass/bronze threaded insert cast in. I'd be interested to hear any thoughts / advice on this Cheers
