Grundy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Pricing is a bit too high as there are already traders on this forum with branded carbon bonnets for that price. And aye if you want to trade on the forum, you'll need to speak to a admin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do alot of it and may in the future develop a new bonnet from GRP with vents and the such. no mate carbon has to be vac bagged and injected or wet lay up , but to get the best finish with no air injected is the way to go , the moulding is not the same as grp they have to have flanges all the way around the part so you can put your bags to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
