Below is an image of the mould for one side of the fairing, i have attached temporary flanges to it as i will not be able to cut the carbon to exactly the right size as the mould and this will allow me to trim it back to size. I have another fairing on production and will post more images later in the week.

Hi Warren

I have been able to get hold of an original mould for the bike fairing and although its polyester due to its age if should be ok, i have had to build temporary  flanges around it and i am going to use an envelope bag. I will upload some images this eve of the mould.

This is an upper section/tacho mount for a classic race bike, the original part in glass fibre weighs 350 grams and the carbon component is 80 grams. I used wet lay and vacuum  bag. I will be making a complete fairing later this week for the same bike .
