Hi Dave
The Carbon panels are made from moulds which is not easy.
The moulds to date are 3mm steel polished and 2 pack painted, unfortunatly the curing heat process makes the Carbon shrink at different rates to the metal, so some carbon parts have distorted . failure rate is about 50% but what is left of the best of the larger panels can be used in areas where flat sheet is required so loss is not so bad
Each sheet is aprox 3 mm thick so its like a sheet of concrete with less wt than ally 1.5mm ( 16g ).
each panel is bonded and riveted so the whole thing is structural.
I am in the process of small ally moulds for small areas which when carbon is cured will destroy the ally, sort of disposable moulds.
I will add a few more pic's when I can. Good to here from you.
The engine going in the forty is the same spec as my ultima which is 600+ BHP Chevy, dry sumped, kinsler injection and motec management and it goes like s##t of a stick pictures will also follow in due course
Regards Keith
