    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I know I saw a thread on here before. I thought I had bookmarked it but I guess not. Can any of you point me to the right thread? The search doesn't even seem to get me close. Thanks!

EDIT: Not this one. There was another where the guy made the entire side cover.
I think it was a more detailed version of this.

I have this on my list of things to do.. I'm still playing around with a few other molds and probably won't get to it for awhile..

The mold making process is the same as I used for the air box lid.. It will just use more materials.

I think it will require a 2nd mold to lay up the tabs then you would bond the 2 molded pieces together. You wouldn't need to vacuum bag it either since it's a fairly simple mold. NO need for carbon unless you want to get fancy with it.. I'd probably just do 2 layers 3/4 oz (one straight cut and one bias cut) cloth, 2 layers 2oz (straight and bias) 2 layers 4oz then bulk it up with some heavy cloth to your desired thickness. Blot, throw down some peel ply cloth and let it cure.
You can start with heavy cloth if you want but they tend to telegraph the weave pattern into the finished surface.
