i found a place close to me that can make anything out of carbon fibre. to make a mould for a bonnet and to make the bonnet, they charge 10k. but if i can get moulds they charge between 3 and 4k. so anyone have a mould for me. bruno, old buddy! hint hint.

Hey Gremlin, are this people in pretoria? "Carbom Fibre Specialists" i've call them a while back asking the same thing and i told them that i had a mold but in Fiberglass, the only shit is that my mold is a bit off(scew) and they say if it comes wrong they don't guarantee because is your mold.

They also quoted me with 3K and thaks a week or two.

What i suggest is: VLADE donates is bonnet to make a mold of it(i'll take it to the guy that did mine) we all club in for the expense, and if need be he can modify it with vents or something then whoever is interested we must order in bulk from "Carbom Fibre Specialists" and ask them for a lekker price.

Let me know coz i need to replace my bonnet next month after i'm done with the RB25DET 😈 😈

I'm only willing to donate a bonnet if I know that I can get a DECENT fiber one in return.

Ok so they say R3000 for a mold, how much to have one bonnet made?

The other concern that I have about the clubbing in for the mold is who owns it in the end?

Hey Vlade,
The 3K is not for the mold it is for the guys in "Carbom Fibre Specialists" to do the carbon fibre bonet if you provide the mold.
Now the ownership of the mold can stay with the person that has the biggest back yard to keed all the crap(which is not my case) that's the reason my all bodykit molds were stored badly and are in a bad condition. :x :x .
Now i still have to find out how much would this guy will charge us for the mold, coz when he did my bodykit he used to work from home but now he has a panelbeating shop 😕 😕 we never know what prices will he come up with.
But let me know if kneen and how many people are willing to club in, maybe we can still go fiberglass rout mine wasn't that bad. 🙂

bruno asked me to upload some shots of his bonnet.

i dont have very nice angled shots, but these are the best i could find.

hope it helps!

you actually cant see the slash vents on the sides.

i'll look for more bruno!

Thanks Veecee, send me your work email and i'll send it to you and then you can post it.

I freaking love that bonnet.

Luckily for you im too poor to steal the design. hehe 😉

hey bruno. the place is called quality compasites. they are in the pretoria area. i quite like your idea. but before we do anything we need to find out how much your guy will ask and who is interested and willing to chip in. my only problem is time.

sorry bruno,

cant send anymore pics. damn office IT have blocked photobucket and gmail.

please pm someone else like toby or vlade or someone!

outa what does he plan to make it? (and i think whats bothering everyone is - will the original bonnet still be usable afterwards?)

The mould will be made of fibre glass. As far as I understand the origional bonnet will be the same. The origional bonnet wont be damaged in any way.

ja sure...

ummm i want a bonnet like though though

I was thinking getting it made with Fiber Glass then getting an CF overlay...

i like that. that is the exact style i wanted. when i get the mould made the i will get them to do it like that. after my bo nnet is made you can take a look and see u like the way they work.

Wicket!

Let me know when you need the bonnet... I guess I won't be needing it for th e next month or so...

And as long as you promise that it will come back in its current state 8)
