Hi all, I make quite alot of my own parts in carbon fibre and use my trusty dremel and hand files to cut the required shape. Firstly, its very messy so make sure you have your Hoover ready, secondly, wear gloves and a face mask. Carbon between your fingers is not pleasant, thirdly, carbon tends to wear out the cutting bits very quickly (at least the ones I use). I have drawed my designs on graph paper and sent them to Fibrelyte and they have made them for me at a very reasonable cost so don't rule them out. Martin at Fibrelyte is a nice chap and has helped me with parts in the past with no problem.
