[MITTZ]

hey
does anyone here have a carbon fiber engine side cover/flywheel cover?
im gona make 1 my self by making a mould of my metal 1 with fiberglass and then reproducing it with carbon fiber. iv had a look at the inside of my metal 1 but if anyone who has 1 could possably take a pic or 2 of the inside on there carbon fiber 1 and post them here it would be much appreciated. or if anyone knows a site that sells them and has pics of the inside that would be handy 2

cheers, andrew

ISNT that a cast alloy carbon fiber look side cover
plz correct me if im wrong but i think hes looking for the real deal so he can see what the finish is like on the inside

IE braceing or such ,i dunno

thanks heaps pickaninny! just needed to see if it needs any bracing like snitchy said (but i couldnt think of the right words). thanks to cactus jack for the links. looks pretty easy to make. ive got a fair bit of fiberglassing experience so it shouldnt be too hard! ill keep u updated with my progress. i might even start selling them if it works out good!

cheers, andrew

Yeah I know what you mean ...... normally you'd mould metal "anti-crush" inserts in where the bolt holes go to prevent splitting ........

yeah i recon it should be strong enough without any of the extra bits on the inside
