Cheers lads.

Got a bit more to show you but its not worked very well again. Resin is too think. Will get pictures anyways. Just bought some CF mat and the resin separate. And some carnauba wax for making molds.

I lie actually, its come out very strong, just CBA to polish it up.

I've been looking into doing it aswell.


WHere did you buy your materials, and what are you making your moulds from?

Stuff from eBay

Made moulds from just standard mini parts, cover it in carnauba wax, let it dry, then whack on the resin. Obviously not gonna work for making exact copy parts, but its worked OK for what i'm doing.

Ahh you legend! Forgot you had those!

Just fettled the throttle pedal a bit, put more of an angle on it and kinked one end over. Also tapped and fitted a small machine screw to hold the upper arm on, didn't really need it but its just extra security.
