Carbon Fibre

Not been happy with the the standard scuttle panel since the powder coating was dulled when I cleaned off the masking tape adhesive. Rather than getting it coated I decided to make one out of Carbon Fibre. I got in contact with Carbon Mods in Stoke and bought a sheet of 2mm thick Wet Lay Carbon Fibre. As I'm only using one side this proved a lot cheaper than Pre-Preg Sheets. Unfortunately as the scuttle is wider than 1m I had to get a 2m sheet, I'm sure I can find a use for the rest....

I did also get an A4 sheet of 3mm Pre-Preg to make up some paddle shifters.

I used the old scuttle panel for a template, covered the carbon fibre with masking tape to protect it. Marked out and then cut with a Dremmel, then finished with a Permanent-Grit Sanding Block.

Marked out the hole for the dry sump oil tank and drilled holes around a smaller hole marked inside, then tidied up with the Dremmel and sanding bands, really pleased with the result.

Trial fitted and looks great, just need to clean off the a small amount of masking tape adhesive.
