Andy Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I need to trim down my c/f engine cover and slam panel due to the addition of a Plenum and c/f bonnet. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to do this ie: will a Dremel cutting disk be up to the job and if so, low speed, high speed, taped up etc. Cheers, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 If you want detailed advice, my brother used to work in the Prodrive composites team making carbon fibre bits for the BAR F1 car and Subaru WRC..... Short answer is a not very abrasive, moderately high speed Dremel will be alright (with a mask, and not near the car. The shards scratch paintwork!)
