I am after something like the one in the photo. Anyone have any ideas where to look?
It doesn't have to be carbon but that would be a bonus !

make one, just make a wooden box as a mold, paint it shiny inside and lay some glass fiber, dead easy. You can buy film to make it look like carbon.

Infact you can get simple kits of carbon mat and resin to do this. Should take a night to make that.

With so much else to do I would rather buy one. I need it soon as I want to mount my steering column supports and this will affect where it goes.

You could try Martin at MVS Racing - he does loads of CF stuff and may have something to suit or something he can make up - http://www.mvsracing.co.uk/

Tell him Wyn 'Swift' suggested him!

What about carbon fibre air boxes for bike engines - might be able to find something vaguely the same shape which could be modified to suit.

Then make one out of resin and fleece like the speaker pod guys do. You'll get the shape you want instead of having to work round someone else's.

Did you make everything yourself?
Like wheels hubs etc
Somethings are more economical to buy than make
