Ive pm'd him mate so see if he gets back.
If there was a market for them I could easily do some but as one offs you'd be talking silly money.

Re: 3TJ frame covers
The problem is Morepower uses prepreg so the unit cost of the covers becomes higher than people think they're worth

Re: 3TJ frame covers
There's not a great deal of difference in pre peg or resin infusion as they both use near identical cloth, infusion is a little cheaper but mostly simpler as no oven is used.
The cost is in making moulds for small runs, the two frame rail moulds would set you back £90/100 just for the materials without any labour.
