First off can i say none of this would happen if it it wasn't for Paul, Matt and the guys at Easy Composites,
to say you couldn't meet a nicer, more helpful, informative, interested in your project, etc, etc. bunch of people.
Paul and Matt have bent over backwards to help me and thanks have to be said.

I first went to EC at the old building to pick up a skinning kit to skin the header tank on my road bike and ended up making a  rea rseat cover

can be seen in the picture


This was a bad idea and has sent me down the road of composite hell, lol
I started rebuilding an old gsxr 400 race bike and decided to replace all the old uv damaged panels in CF.

first part was the air box so I got to work.

will use tank as top of box


my first play with wax sheet and filleting wax


box fitted to bike

I feel you...

Strange no one has come up with some tricks to find those leaks.
How about filling it with air instead of vacuum and put it under water? like you do with bicycle tyres.
You see where the bubles come and there you have the leak.
Or maybe the other way around with some colored liquid, put the piece under that liquid and see where the liquid is pulled.

Or maybe EC could provide a professional home service where they respond to your breakdown call, come to your house and helps you find the leak
