I have searched and searched all morning long on the past posts as well as on google. I remember seeing carbon fiber rain shields for use over the weber carbs on 6 cylinder cars. Does anyone know where/how to get these, or a link to the post, or any info at all. Any help is much appreciated.

I have tried and tried to no avail and he doesn't respond. I wanted a set too, but I don't think he is interested.

He does have a website.

If you get anywhere with the guy, let me know.

Carbonjoe@attbi.com

Or if you find one somewhere else, let me know!

Thanks, looks like it might be a lost cause. On the flip side there is a lot of people selling carbon fiber sheets, you just heat them up and apply to whatever you want. So I can get som normal carb covers and cover them myself (20 bucks says I go through a whole sheet of the carbon fiber before I get it right!)

the cf shroud is nice looking, but $1000 was the only price I ever saw for it.
Too pricey for me!

Thought about that myself...I am about to get shop space...maybe in a few months after I am a master at welding, I willl take up laying fiber (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

only time will tell...shit, if those saratoga tops sell that well, just imagine a CF top, should sell like hotcakes...oh wait, I forgot we are talking about 914's here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)...you sell one or two and get a billion emails...

I would hate to sell ricer stuff...but the money sure looks good...

Yes, I like the cf shrouds too......

Here is mine. All I can say, it is not at all as easy to laminate these as you may think. This is my third and it is not perfect at all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I gave that one to the friend who borrowed his original shroud for mold. So, I have to make at least one for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Right now I have some problems with the place where I could laminate them. They smell "a little" and nobody would like to allow me to do them... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pain30.gif)

But, as soon as I have time and a good place I could make couple of extra shrouds. Before that I have to make a mold from 356 Speedster´s bucet seat and 6 copys. I have promiced to do that to my friend. He is 356 enthusiast and he have told me those are really rare and expensive seats. I dont know, but I get some ca$$h from copying them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)
