That's so cool.  Carbon fibre is something I'd like to learn how to work 
with.  Are there any books/manuals that can get me started?  Where do you 
get your supplies from or is this at your place of work?

Does a charcoal filter mask remove isocyanates?  I don't think it does, I 
think you need a breathing aparatus (i.e. air line).  Nasty stuff.  I 
kinda like the epoxy idea a bit better.

Ditto, but I don't have the skills to weld aluminum or the capacity to keep 
the intake from warping.  But I could ship you a manifold and a bunch of 
bosses.  :)

thanks for the advice
