    I'm jealous. Mine is sitting in the garage at the end of the street with it's engine out.
    Rather than getting put together it seems every time I see it it's getting smaller and more spread out.

    Lars did you used special paint to paint the heads in red ?

    Very nice job and nice heat shield. What do you use for a mal to construct these in carbon fiber, just the originals with some protection between both ?

    Thanks form Belgium for your advice

    I made some molds for both shields, and made the carbon fiber parts in these molds using VARTM metod.

    What exactly is used as a "shield"? On our race cars we have to line everything carbon with foil to reflect heat away from the carbon.
