thanks for the good advice on the installation. I'll need to source out some epoxy resin now... Do they still use epoxy resin for carbon fiber? That's what I used back in the day when I was fabricating with CF.

I would get 2 more GoPro cameras, one for the cluster, one in the cabin looking out, and one mounted low on the outside filming the front wheels, or filming behind you. Ok, maybe you need three more cameras.

i would check online which resins are recommended for CF. since it's black cf it shouldn't matter but dont want it to get cloudy or anything.

oh man...

hahahaha!!

From what I understand, epoxy resins are less prone to clouding compared to polyester resins which are used in cheaper applications.

The epoxy resins I've used have held up without a hitch. I bought a few yards of twill weave CF and epoxy resin just to play around with. My first project was a replacement handle for our dryer when the cheap stock handle cracked. A problem I found was common on this particular Kenmore Elite after a little research. (I also found that most home appliance complaints came from women who repeatedly broke their equipment by forcibly opening the doors once they had locked closed, and then subsequently called for class-action lawsuits against the manufacturer.)

Clothes dry 20% faster now.

Ordered my 20mm spacers.

Good to know the cop let you go.

I'll have to see if my carbon fiber supplier is still open. I haven't fabricated anything with carbon fiber/Kevlar for ~10 years. Sounds like the same stuff is used. Thanks guys
