Any EC staff, or Andy, willing to have a crack at estimating the material requirements for a job like this? I've just been asked by a local race team to have a look at building a roof for their Lotus Exige Sport 240 track car, which I believe has a similar bolt in setup to this. I will obviously need to work out the requirements exactly when I go see the car, but for now I'm just getting an idea of the material costs. 

I wouldn't even use that pump for a small job, I wouldn't use a pump that can't pull at least 29mmHg. Are you sure it's the pump letting you down and you don't have a leak? 

This is such an inspirational thread. It gives me the motivation to tackle my ultimate goal...to make a cf one piece front end incorporating all my custom parts:

Blackndecker, it's a space fram chassis with a fibreglass tub bolted on originally, so there is no need to cut anything away on the car

I'm curious how you bonded the carbon structure to the car and what part of the original structure that you cut away. Pics of that would be amazing!

Hi Andy
Awesome, just bloody awesome!
I thought I was doing well carbon wrapping my instrument binnacle.



How do you find the reflections off yours? I didn't go for a mirror shine on mine and it isn't too bad but still a bit funny seeing the street lights flash up the windscreen.

Certainly looks amazing all together now.

how look other parts like carbon interior or under hood or rear end?

some better pics i took today... car was unfortunately a little dirty and it still needs a few more coats of lacquer but certainly getting there.
