Got the whole lot as a \'starter kit\' from a place called Torque Carbon.
They buy the kits from West Systems though. boostedliner@anthonycanova.demon.co.uk (should have got a domain name)

[ENVYD]

looks like a good starting kit that mate!
 
hope to see some of you work soon

OOoo west systems are good stuff mate.... one thing might be worth bairing in mind though.... The epoxy resin will take ages to go off in the weather we are having at the moment!! If you get some of the builder insulating foam (the one with silver foil both sides) & make a small auto clave using an electric heater!! build a box using the foam (big enough to get the parts you are making in) cut a square hole big enough to get the end of the heater in & seal up around the joints with gaffa tape or sealant!! when the bits are layed up, drop them in, turn the heater on & leave them in there for 12 hours!!

Also keep the resing runny as it will be easyer to work with!! to do this you need to keep it warm as when it is cool it resembles treacle!! another thing you need to be careful of is if you put too little hardner or even too much hardner in to the resin it will not set at all!! think the mix ratio is 2 parts resin 1 part hardner

Cheers mate, one thing it didnt come with is instructions lol so going to have to find a book or website that can help me with that.

Anyone know where I can get pre hardened carbon from? Just need something flat that I can cut up for various things, seems a waste using what I got. I\'ll save that for something like the dome on top of the dash.

Cheers

i used some to do some sill plates and came out well, easy enough for non curved stuff coz it does not bend too well tho

If you did need to bend it. would it bend with a little heat?
