Carbon fibre panels.

Carbon fibre panels

Parts like bonnet, wings, doors can be made of carbon fibre to reduce weight as performance modifications.
I utilize vacuum infusion method to produce ultra light parts.
The Vacuum Infusion Process is a technique that uses vacuum pressure to drive resin into a laminate. Dry materials are laid into the mold and the vacuum is applied before resin is introduced. Once a complete vacuum is achieved, resin is literally sucked into the laminate via carefully placed tubing. This process is aided by an assortment of supplies and materials.


Fibreglass moulds for top and bottom side of the bonnet.

Dry fabricks and consumables placed inside of the mould ready for infusion.

                     Top part of bonnet is ready and placed in mould of the bottom part ready for bonding with bottom part and finally trimmed.
