Alan here from sunny Barnsley lol
I'm making a mould for a air intake to the air box on my Ford Focus RS its an odd shape and hopefully you could help me decide how many splits on the mould I would need ?
I need to sand down the joints then cover with filler before flatting then I plan to spray it to get a really good finish

Right I have my plug made and ready to start making the moulds off it but after watching the video of the split mould using the uni mold kit, I bought one then realized that its no good for the new pre peg ' would it be possible to use the EL160 is a high performance epoxy laminating resin with the glass fibre out of the uni mould kit and use the EG160 high temperature tooling gelcoat ?
or if not would it be possible to make a split mould out of XPREG® XT135/S Tooling Prepreg .
Thanks

ps the problem with my car not boosting was broken spring in the turbo actuator ' a not very old high performance actuator at that but at least then sent me a replacement spring that i can fit myself
