[quote][i]Originally posted by autoflock motorsport[/i] Many thanks for the kind words fellas, we are curently prepping a boot lid ready for moulding, in respect to people question regarding composite strength, carbon is a lot stronger than steel/metal (about 5 times) but that doesnt mean that the carbon part which is replacing the standard part will be stronger. Metal can be stretched and compressed where as carbon and aramid cannot, it is solid and will not distort, it stays strong until it reaches breach point then it simply breakes, ther is no in between if that makes any sence. Had an interesting day yesterday though, Harvey Gibbs sons (scs) popped up with some carbon products which needed repairing and some new parts they wanted us to produce in carbon. One of the parts they brough was a carbon cover for a morrette headlight. For a bit of fun we popped it onto the scales to see what it would weigh, bare in mind this was made from 4x4 prepreg, it weighed in at a shade over 270grams. We has just made the first infused prototype spitter for fast ford which was approx 4" high and span the whole width of a fiesta mk3 and about 12" down the side of the car, total length was over 2400mm. Does anyone want to have a guess as to what that weighed in at??? [/quote]
