Carbon Fibre Ducts

Description

Set of 3 Carbon Fibre Ducts for getting cold air in or warm air out. Great for reducing under bonnet temperatures when placed at the rear of the bonnet near the scuttle. Made from 100% genuine carbon fibre and epoxy resin by infusion. Not the usual wet lay with polyester resin.
The two oval ducts are 210mm x 110mm and the triangular one is 200mm x 250mm.
The set of three are supplied with black ally mesh pre fitted. Quick and easy to install.

Set of 3 £55 including postage.

How much would a pair of oval ones be without the triangle one ?

I might be up for a pair of those nearer to Christmas.

Loops like they would help get the hot air out of the back of the bonnet.

Cheers

Not wanting to be pedantic, but can't help it - they're not ducts?! A duct is an enclosed passage or channel, these are vents? I assume the confusion comes about from people talking about NACA ducts (which are inlets, not really ducts).

Don't mind pedantic, NACA ducts can be outlets as well as inlets

True Touche!

Thanks for the response. The initial batch of 10 sets of Ducts/Vents have now sold out.
I will be making another batch next week. Anyone wanting to pre order please contact me via U2U.

We can also offer a nose mounted Naca Duct to assist the flow of air through the engine bay and out of the rear mounted set.
They feature a curved profile to match most Nose Cones and are £55 posted or £100 for the set of 4.
There are pictures in my archive.

Looks like lovely quality, nice to see someone producing a real carbon quality product rather than wrapped chinese tat.

Thanks, its not easy competing against the "lookalike" stuff that's out there. Unfortunately many people don't know or understand that they are getting an ABS part that has been wrapped or water printed to look like carbon.
I don't have a problem with wrapped or printed parts as long as they are advertised as "carbon effect" and not carbon which unfortunately is not usually the case.

Did everone receive thier vents?........

I'm two down and Carbonman seems to have dissapeared, won't reply to emails etc.

I'm a bit peed off as he's taken my money and not sent the parts to me (at leastwo of the oval vents). This means I dont have a set and the one I did receive is useless.

Does anyone know Carbonman...maybe they could give him a polite nudge to at least contact me.

To be fair to Carbonman, he has now sorted out the issues.
