This is one of my latest products, it is a primary drive cover for a classic race bike (Norton) and the weight is 200 grams. I used carbon/Diolen and Soric plus epoxy resin, all materials from Easy Composites.

looks good!!   You seem to be doing equally well with the small detailed bits as you are with the bigger parts.

Hi Warren
The part was fun removing from the mould as the sides are parallel and the part is rigid and so is the mould Smile a slight angle would have helped.

It might help to use a dam in the hole so you can release the part easier. When you lay up, take a small piece of sealant tape, and put it in the middle of where the hole is, on the mould face. Continue the layup and apply your breather stack, making sure you make holes in all of the layers so that the tape can poke through. When you bag up, make sure the bag touches the tape. This will essentially creates a hole that will make release very easy.
