I'm planing to make a carbon brake lever.
Q1:  Should a two part mould be strong enough to do this?
Q2:Now I'm seeing a lot of bike part brands using unidirectional carbon layers to do this kind of works. what do you advise? twill or uni?


example of a carbon brake lever:

i think u should use kevlar after 4 layers of carbon and i think u should fill it with resin before you attach the 2 sides so it would be solid from inside , but beleive me its just an opinion i never tried it to tell u that its right or wrong , if u did and it worked please tell me.
