Body exit surround for exhaust (carbon fibre)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Guy's and Girls looking for some help please, my old girl has started burning around the exhaust outlet. It has and a Aluminum plate there at the moment but transfers to much heat on long journeys (see attached picture).

I want to put carbon fibre sheet there as a shield. Is there anyone who makes these? if not is the sheeting easy to cut to shape?

Thank you in advance20210521_120754.jpg.154ffa5ec5c3ae474f2ad7b45cd76947.jpg

Just make your own. I’m not sure if I used 1 or 2mm CF but it was easy enough to do.

Indeed, most make their own.

CF is easy to work with. Best to use permagrit cutting discs and files. I bought my tools and material from Easy composites.

 

Something like this in 1mm will be fine- sheet

 

Use PPE to avoid breathing in dust from cutting/sanding it.

 

This tape will stick it on- VHB Tape

 

I've used it for roll bar feet covers and also for an exhaust plate like you wish to make. If you cut a very fine slot in it with a hacksaw, you can carefully open up the shape to pass it round things to avoid removing them etc.

Seconded, I've used it successfully around the exhaust exit too.

This stuff is really good and easy to work with. You can cut it with decent scissors and the self adhesive stuff is great.
