I have a carbon coilpack cover for my supra and i have a set of aftermarket cam pulleys fitted, i want to cut out the front of the coilpack cover so you can see the cam pulleys etc how do i do this?

 

Anyone cut carbon before etc

 

just want to know if there is a special way to do this before i mess up my new coilpack cover

 

thanks

I've done a few, it's really easy. Mark the area you want to cut, use a wood drill bit, and drill around the outline, odviously inside the line, then use a round file you join the holes together so to speak so the unwanted plastic part galled out. I then used a flapper where on the end of my drill to smooth out all the lines, and a half round file to finish off. It's not a long process, I could do 1 in an hour or so.

I did the same as hodge on my gauge pod, just get some masking tape to stop the drill slipping, start with a small wood drill piece, drill small holes inside the are you want to cut out, then use a file to file it out to desired window outline

 

Should look awesome, I do like when you can see the after market can gears, a lot of engineering goes into them, its a shame to hide them
