    Any interest in CF Brake Ducts?

    Well as my SAE Supermileage Car project is comming to an end, I have no use for the extra carbon fibre that we have. I can make a mold (out of balsa wood), and lay a layer of pre-fab carbon fibre. Now the question is if anyone would be interested in just the first piece of the Brake Duct (outside visible portion) or the whole entire ducting to the brakes. I am still thinking of a price, and at the moment creating a prototype.

    I'd be interested in some depending on price of course.

      Sounds kind of unnecessary, not like the stock ones are heavy...also, you could just use hose and it's be light and cheaper.

                  I know, its more for show than go. I am just bringing this up because I have alot of CF left over, and thought that this would be an easy project. Hell if I really had the time I would go all out and make CF Fenders, trunklids, etc. But this is just more for fun.

                    I don't see how you would make a balsa wood mold. Or are you just going to make the new ducts boxy, and not the same shape as the OEM ones?

                      Same shape as the OEM ones, and yes I can do it out of balsa wood, its going to be very interesting,

                            My Supermileage Project Team. Here is a sample of what we have done so far on our supermileage competition. Yes we do have the resources and yes we do know what we are doing.







                            Its not A+ quality work, but its whats getting us into the competition.
