Cat_J Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi, I haven't posted on here for a while but I still come by and read the posts. I'm gathering funds together for a new mountain bike build and thought maybe this would be a good idea. Knowing how crappy all the plastic is on land rover dashes I thought replacing some of the bits that frequently break with carbon fiber would be a good way to go. I have a few off cuts of some pretty high quality carbon (aerospace grade I believe) left over from another project so if anybody would like a piece cut I would be happy to do it for a few quid. So anything like the fog switch surround, clock surround, custom switch panel, whatever really anything flat I can do. I'd even have a go at making a box too but no promises there! I'm not looking to make a fortune and would never rip off a fellow land roverer but if I can make someone something nice and earn a few quid in the process then happy days. I actually build wiring harnesses for F1 cars now, but knowing what land rover wiring is like I'm a little dubious about offering those kind of services on here It feels good to be posting again... Even if I am trying to sell myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Well I'm slowly replacing the more cracked bits as I get through them. It would be interesting to know the sort of price difference between a plastic replacement part and a CF version. Any idea of the sort of ball park prices?

Tom1809 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 You must work for beru f1 systems then I applied for a job there a few years back before I went into the family firm and became well a hearing engineer. If you see a Rimini red 90 with a black front runner roof rack and puma bonnet give us a wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_J Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Haha will do Tom, its a small world. Inigo, how much is a replacement pattern part? I'f I can cut it then I would do my best to be similar prices, but obviously bettery quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
