Almost finished the carbon fibre losmondy style plate.
Just have to bore the mounting holes.
I used 3mm plain weave matt finish carbon fibre sheet, epoxy bonded using methacrylate structural adhesive (vuduglu vm100 black). Make sure you adhere to the saftey precautions for both these products - nasty stuff

Made the plate in a few stages. Cut all the sheet to required size. Epoxy the top half of the plate together x3 and the dovetail x2 sections. Machine the angle to suit losmondy style plate to finished dimensions and then epoxy to the top half.
Simple!

Easy project to do, only used a 4" angle grinder with ultra thin stainless cutting blade and a fine metal sanding disc. The carbon fibre is quite easy to cut using high speed. You could also use a router or trimmer would work as well.

Highly recommend project, come in cheaper than buying new (labour not included)
