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

Haha, they pretty much do supply that sort of service!

Liquid would be a nono around your resin plus with the bags no being too expensive its a case of re doing it.

I'm VERY lucky in that I live only a few miles away from EC so if I need help I call in, Matt and Paul should have an award for their customer service its above and beyond.

I took my 5th attempt up and Paul sorted my leak out!

turns out I'm deaf from playing the drums in my youth, I cannot hear the leaks!!

Paul took about 3 minutes to find a micro hole, he could hear it I could not.

I'm still learning and familiarization is 50% of the job, the more you work with something the easier it becomes.

Ive now made the part and will post it up when I've time to upload the pictures, looks great!!!๐Ÿ˜Š
