You need a mould maker not the carbon maker

Moulds for carbon are different from glass fibre I believe. Once they've had one material in them you cant mix them without a lot of work. so it's kinda easier to make a new mould.

I tried to get some BDK carbon fairings once ... I think I just gave up

Last I knew BDK was pushing to get their molds revived last year as they've got some demand for 3TJ bits. They've got tails at the very least.

Interesting a fairing would be cool though.
I know Morepower does Aprilla 250 stuff in carbon
