View Full Version : group buy on carbon bits
scooby-si 17 April 2004, 17:41 iam getting some carbon bits made ie,pulley cover,fuse box cover,battiery cover + someother ones later as in air box etc
not sure on the prices yet, i will have the first 1 in the next week or so and i will post some pics as soon as i get them ,THESE ARE NOT THE CHEAP AND CHEESY LOOK ALIKE ONES LIKE ON EBAY,
just want to see how many people would be interested in them,just start a list if you fancy some,i think i can get them in coloured carbon as well, ie hint of blue or red
the bloke thats going to make them made a boot lid for a scooby weighin at 1kg:D and hes just making some doors for a skyline, so they are the proper thing
thx

scooby-si 17 April 2004, 17:49 i posted it in the right forum, waited 2 days now for it to come up and nothing so i put it in here :D
StickyMicky 17 April 2004, 17:50 the ones on ebay look ok, whats crap about them?
scooby-si 17 April 2004, 17:53 mikey they look ok because its a picture m8 there is no way to bolt them down ;) and its look a like stuff as well u drop it it brakes, these wot iam gettin made you can stand on them if you want to and will not brake ;)
i might be interested, but i'd like to know what all bits he could do. and also prices:D
Fulham71 17 April 2004, 17:59 Are they Autoclaved or wet layed ?
scooby-si 17 April 2004, 18:56 will find out fulham m8
only after a list to c if any 1 fancies any
Chelspeed 17 April 2004, 19:01 Not sure battery cover is a good idea. Unlike say ABS palstic, carbon is conductive, it'd be like making an ally battery cover.
Depends why you want a battery cover I guess, if it's to stop the contacts touching something metallic then carbon is not clever. If you want it to tidy up the engine compartment and there are plastic terminal covers underneath it then OK I suppose.
scooby-si 17 April 2004, 23:36 it will have the bits cut out where the contacts are so it shouldnt touch it.
scooby-si 17 April 2004, 23:39 fulham just got email back off pete here u go
, i can do both methods.
The matt finish that i described is the Auto clave or Pre-Preg carbon, and
the glossy finish is the cheaper "wet lay-up" material (which is effectively
just fibre glass and what most carbon products are made from like bonnets
etc).
thx

Adam M 22 April 2004, 08:47 so he can make up carbon fibre intercooler pipework?
interesting.
Might be interested in the accessories cover etc. not so keen on the battery idea.
if you have some pics on what has been done it would be helpful.
Wet laying is a bit naff, especially for body panels.
If he could autoclave doors and boot lids, that would be a useful contact, assuming he is good. Been burned before.
scooby-si 22 April 2004, 13:18 hes very good adam have alook here m8 hes just got a contract with samco
