Looks great! Solid work. Do you still know how much carbon you used for this? Looking to do it on mine and I’d like to know how much I need for the upper and lower part of the gripping area.
I can't understand why the leather grip section is first completely covered with masking tape, and then @ 12:15 it is suddenly off and the leather is replaced without explanation. Yes it is smooth leather as opposed to perforated, but the previous covering looked fine. Was there a need to replace the leather? Did it get damaged?
The faux leather grip material was replaced with a lightweight top grain leather for cosmetic purposes. Tape was applied over the grip area to minimize mess during the carbon application process. If an existing grip covering is to be kept in a final part, it typically needs to be removed then reapplied after the carbon skinning process is complete.

You made this look easy. I would probably have to do this 5 times before I got any decent results 😅
I was like "hey I could do this" until you got to the stitching part 😂
😍😍😍 10/10 fantastic vidéo ! And beautiful carbon fiber ❤ i will buy it in a few weeks
That’s a different way I’ll try it. I normally put the chopped carbon on then wrap around

Make more videos of wheel steering carbon please
Good job awesome 👏🏻 👍🏻
how come you fold the carbon over itself? im trying to get my wheel done and finding it very troublesome
it just doesnt shine it stays jet black and i dont know why
Do I have to remove oem leather or could I reshape with UP foam or bondo to reshape and skin over leather
@ulticarbon the procedure is the same if you use standard Twill Carbon Fabric?
If you are looking to do a regular twill carbon fibre wheel, I suggest watching eco lap’s video on it, he does a really good job
Это что,скотчем ты обматываешь? Или пленка простая узкая
I want to know which epoxy you use
???
Whats your price for this Job?
Funny I’m just doing one too lol
is that your tape? or something else? what do you wrap your steering wheel with?
The tape used to hold and compress the carbon fiber during the cure process was Hi-Shrink release coated tape.
@ulticarbon Why the two layers with raw side facing inward (backing on outside)?
Two layers to provide enough thickness since this would be sanded after cure, and backing outward for easier handling during application.
@@ULTICARBON so, same look on both side once epoxy is applied?
or you can save a ton of time and vacuum seal it with food grade plastic and boil it at the desired temperature.
wdym?
What resin did you use normal or polyester
Epoxy resin.
Hi.. Where can i buy carbon forged like this?
Forged carbon dry fabric is available at Ulticarbon.com.
Where do you get the shrink tape?
Composite Envisions offers a variety of widths.
where do you get the leather ?
The lambskin leather was purchased from a seller on Etsy www.etsy.com/shop/LeatherTreasureShop
