Also why put HRC on it? Take credit for your own work!
Well I wanted to make it out of something a bit special. Anyone can chaw something out of a piece of billet but a carbon fibre cover is slightly more tricky. As for the HRC, I am doing this myself, not as a company, so don't have a company name or anything to write on there so HRC seemed better than nothing. Without this, it looks a bit boring.
Fair enough, what you've done is way beyond my little day dream.

Out of interest how did you get the exact dimension and shape for the mounting points into solid works? Did you scan it in or all careful hand measurements?

the CNC machine we have has a probe so I went round and probed the crankcase dowel holes and then gearbox and crankshaft then put the clutch cover on and probed all the dowel holes. write down all the coordinates with nothing any more fancy than a pen and paper, then type the coordinates in.

yes I have considered this and if it works then I will make covers out of magnesium to sell.

I am not going to make any more parts from my designs until they are proven and working sorry :cry:

Nice, we've got a CNC with a probe, can it not export straight to a solidworks file?
