Making a prepreg carbon front clip for my Lotus Elan. So far so good.



Mould with the reinforcement that caused the problem. I bagged the whole thing. This resulted in a differential pressure between the inner surface and the outer skin under the reinforcement which resulted in the mould sinking under the pressure!

Thanks for the pictures.  I see what you mean by the ribbing. It is a shame as the rest of it looks really good.  It is a shame there was the void in the ribs but as we discussed you probably don't need them or next time use something rigid in the ribs.

Hopefully the repairs will come out ok and you keep it down to a good weight too.
