The intake hose is a plastic pipe with a diameter of about 80 mm which unfortunately is not straight but it has a complex shape. I am between two choices, 1st: 2 moulds using epoxy mould-making puty. The one mould will create the half face of the pipe and the second, the other one. Then, I will connect them with a propert glue and by drilling some holes and using some screws. 2nd: 2 moulds made using the uni-mould kit... (same logic) the 1st one seems better for me as it is easier (for a complex shape) and gives me a help in creating the right places for the screws... As a material for the part itself, I consider using the infusion method with the classic Carbon Fibre 2/2 Twill 3k 200g for first layer and then adding a core material (SF infusion core) and a Kevlar protective Textile because the part has to be strong and heat-proof. Any comments-sugestions?
