The way I see it is its only the same as taking a hammer to say a £30k car.

hmm, the opposite! We should swap pieces, you do the drilling I'll do the cutting lol Proper fine mini hacksaw and tape works fine, dremel does too but gets messy. Spose to use them funky little abrasive 'saws' though

A lot of measuring, re-measuring, templates and test pieces later, it's fitted;

cant quite see from the pic, but have you sleeved/washered those bolts? Carbon fibre doesn't like concentrated compressive stresses.

looks reet posh
