Hi All

Thought Id share with you the project Im doing.. its been underway for some time now and I have been liasing with easy composites for all that time.
Hopefully posting on here will allow the experts here to chirp in when they see me making mistakes Smile

Basically I have made a new design of rear clip for my Noble, I modified the clip then took a mould from it then cut the modded sections out and tried to re-make the sections in a single piece... however we had concerns due to the size of the sections that it would crack and I want it perfect so that risk is simply not acceptable.

sooooooo

I have decided to take a mould of the entire rear clip and remake it using the resin infusion method.... its a big project for me as I have never worked with carbon fibre or any kind of resin infusion method... I have however been assured I will be able to cope, and we will see Smile

I also have a few other parts to do including light pods (my new design) and a dash binacle.

Anyhow some pics of the bucks that will be used... various states of finishes but clip and binnacle are ready for polishing... going to try to do binnacle first as its a simple design and good to start with.

Hi ,

I havnt got a thread im waiting to finnish all the carbon and then do a build thread,

One other tip i have is when you make the molds make the flanges where the bag tape is going bigger than you think

I have remade some molds and have done this it makes bagging up SO SO much easyer

It may be that im a novice and a pro would get on with smaller edges

But with the carbon ,kevlar,peelply ,infusion mesh and bag i found it too tricky

Its nice to be able to tape stuff down and have a nice clear edge to bag to

Here is a couple of pickys dont want to clog your thread up :-)

Roof just out of mold



One of the arches





The wings are going carbon as well but im still in the process of fitting wing vents to the original

your parts look great look forward to seeing more

must say after making 1 part I already 100% agree with your advice and going to make the flanges 3 times the size on all new moulds i make Smile

one question... how long does the resin take to cure?
