The carbon is definitly stronger, but the stiffness has a lot to di with shape and thickness. You may even want to put some foam ribs on the under side to stiffen it further, like the steel channels on the underside of the original bonnet. vinyl ester is just another type of resin. I would just stick to an epoxy though. Your suggestion about the mould sounds good, just be careful to put a release agent on the bonnet otherwise you will never peel the mould off. Normally for production runs or a few parts, a mold such as this is made and just supported with a timber frame. This works fine but will fall apart after a few attempts. If you intend on making lots'a carbon bonnets and selling them to the drift monkeys, then I would suggest making a more durable mould. [Report message to a moderator]
