Hi everyone,
I'm Guillaume and I read this forum since many weeks.
For my first project, I want to replace some of my old carbon parts :
- the sill protectors,
- the indicator pods,
- the dashboard.
The sill protectors was cut for the roll cage but I removed it.
As it is the most simple part, I will start with it.
Next it will be the dashboard, the main part.
The actual dashboard is very thin with just one sheet of carbon.
So there is no strength in it except on the bottom edge and the light come trough.
The hole for the switches were badly cut so they are not adjusted correctly.
And as the gelcoat is old, it's porous and become white with rain.
The indicator pods are also porous.
Do you think infusion is the most effective way to make these parts ?
As I saw, laminate is more appropriate for covering but possible with a very long long way to get a good finish.
And my oven is not big enough to cure a dashboard from prepreg fabric.
