Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good quality carbon fibre parts manufacturer? I have a wish list of custom parts I would like to have produced for my Caterham.
Many thanks. Ult-Jim.

I have not (yet) purchased anything from Westermann, but I have seen their factory and met the owner. It looks like they do some great work.
They are in Germany, near to where I live.

Many thanks. I have a set of CF head lights from them already. I was thinking of perhaps in CF a fuel filler cover & peddle box cover. Also what about a CF cambelt cover for a K-series?

I have CF everything else being a R500 with front indicator pods and rear light blocks and rear wheel stone protectors. Just wanted a little more and something different yum

For bespoke items, I would think Reverie would be a viable option to consider.

Reverie are very expensive, and the quality of their work is not particularly good for the price. Westerman/Mog make stuff to a price.

Regarding K Series cambelt covers - I am making a camblet insert for my car out of black nylon - like the Sepiss/Swindon ones for VX engines. Shall have some photos of the prototype in the next week.

I may be able to help out. Depends how much of a rush you are in. I learnt my trade making the OEM caterham composite parts, but work in f1 nowadays. I could probably make a few bits and pieces on my days off, but I couldn't commit to guaranteed timeframes.

Feel free to send me an email if you'd like some help. Alternatively I could recommend some people and even the guys that make the OEM parts, but they usually have their hands full keeping up with that lot!
