Just wondered anyone know of a company that produce carbon fibre (not k-tec) was thinking it would be awesome if we could get carbon fibre roof skins and boots, but would need a group buy

There's a company called Curley Mouldings in Kent, they do all the carbon fibre parts for the classic minis, mini miglia cars etc. I spoke to them a while back and they did say they could reproduce any part as long as we had an original in good condition to copy and had a specific number of people interested.

The cost will all depend on if its wet lay carbon or pre-preg auto claved stuff. Wet lay is more for looks and the pre-preg stuff will be super light.

05-01-2010, 19:15
its wet lay, not pre preg

to be fair its a mate in his garage having a play in the cold winter evenings, but we shall see..

i take it they havn't quite cottoned on to the fact that carbon wrapping actually makes your part heavier, not lighter!

rust will always be lighter than carbon fibre

They're not fussed. They'll just chuck another few grand at 'their tuner' to get another 3bhp to make up for it :laugh:

got a bonnet mould for sale, cheaper than it would cost to have one made, its badboy so for a std bonnet the eyebrows would need to be trimmed off and the mould isn't perfect with a few marks but will be raised on the product but can but sanded off and polished. also this is just the outer so if a replica internal structure this would have to be made
