I want to begin prep on other composite parts, but the wheel pants need some modification before I close them out with the internal mud barrier. I will be embeding a holder for my wheel chocks, so I started by making the chocks. The wheel pants get shaken a lot in service, so the added weight needs to be kept to a minimum ... hence the carbon fibre. I will need to reinforce all of the wheel pant mounting points as well.
I cut seven strips of twill weave, layed them up one at a time and sandwiched them with another section of radiussed angle to improve the strength and eliminate excess resin.
