Hi all , so today as im on hols I went into my workshop found some 6 mm carbon fibre sheet and an old sucker mount , cut carbon to size a nd removed the sucker bit , drilled a m6 socket head bolt to match the cam pin to tighten it down and made a thumb screw so alterations can be done without tools . Went for a ride no wobbles or shakes . This is mk1 and I will refine as I go , probably nothing wrong with the available mounts but I do like to fiddle in my workshop .

Great idea Charlie :punk:

What screws did you use to attach the carbon to the reservoir?

Tony , master cylinder top is held down with m4 ,I've now changed to m4 socket heads s/s 20mm in length there is a piece of thin of vinyl between the two just to ensure they never touch.

Thanks very much,
If anyone wants to make similar I can help with sourcing carbon as working in the aircraft industry I've got plenty , had a look at the ram mount not seen that mount before but needs more adjustability from my outlook I adjusted I so I can see the screen comfortably wearing my bifocals (bugger that makes me sound old ) the rod is made from an old garmin mount ball tapped m6 and threaded on a stainless bar I put an m6 thread locked up with a little epoxy .hope this helps,
Charlie :smiley:
