Who was the chap on here making various carbon/kevlar bits including 3TJ frame covers a while back?

Ive pm'd him mate so see if he gets back.
If there was a market for them I could easily do some but as one offs you'd be talking silly money.

The problem is Morepower uses prepreg so the unit cost of the covers becomes higher than people think they're worth

There's not a great deal of difference in pre peg or resin infusion as they both use near identical cloth, infusion is a little cheaper but mostly simpler as no oven is used.
The cost is in making moulds for small runs, the two frame rail moulds would set you back £90/100 just for the materials without any labour.
