Hi all
Have been beavering away at work with my latest project though the winter of a bespoke Duratec coil lead/cam cover that I plan to make out of Carbon
Fibre or Glass so it can be painted. Also plan to make a second mould to produce a cover to do the same but without the cam sensor bump as some kit
car duratec users don't use it. I know its a pain but there are some pics in my photo bucket album go and have a look and let us know your
reactions. I will post up on here my progress once I have pulled out some covers out of the moulds.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Tony

Im liking that would be interested in one if you put in to production
Could also be interested in a cover if the price is right.
I'd be interested in a cover, price dependant.
Hi all,
Just a update at the mo I am off work recovering from a op but by the end of April I should be back to work to get the pattern finnished and to lay up
the mould and my first part out by may...
Thanks
Tony.....
The pattern is almost done just polishing now so not long before it will be laid up for a mould.
Tony.
Mould is going to be ready for its first lay up once back to work after the xmas break.....
Tony.
Hi all, just a update on my mould prep and work, the mould is now laid up and should have a heavy glass one out of it this coming week then it will be
my first carbon part will come out it.
Thanks for reading this....

Hi all,
Just a update on my work on a carbon fibre Duratec coil lead cover. I have taken a heavy carbon part out of my glass fibre mould which will be a new
pattern for a carbon mould. Then I will take a glass fibre part out of the glass mould to fit to my engine and sort out bracketry. Photos will
follow
A link to photo of it is below.

It is not a photo of a finished part as it was made from scraps of carbon and it is not trimmed to fit, but it is not long now before a fitted cover
will be ready.
If you need a real time account of my progress you can via my instagram SPINEMINE
Thanks for your Patience

Hi all, at last I have a part out of my mould for you guys to look at. It will be much better as I am now working on a carbon fibre mould so the
finish will be far better than at the mo.
Sorry for the delay

Tony.
Now have a cover done and on my engine will post up a link for photos very soon.
Tony.
Hi all,
Just a up date on my progress. I have now had a carbon fibre cover and GRP cover out of my mould, trimmed and test fitted to my 2.0 duratec ST 150
engine and in the process of making a new pattern for a cover for the cam sensor to be deleted from the part for those who want to not use the cam
sensor and to bring down the profile of the engine a little for clearance issues.
Follow this link for some pictures of my work so far.

Not sure I need one as such but it would bling up the engine bay a little and with minimal additional weight! Have you any idea of the cost yet (the version without the cam sensor)?
