These molds will be sold after the motorcycles are sold.
These are bolt together multi-piece type with black tooling gelcoat. Finished parts normally have a gel coat finish that is subsequently cut out /holes drilled, cleaned, sanded, primed and painted. Where mold pieces bolt together a seam (ridge) is reproduced but it sands off when prepping. The molds are still in good shape having only made one or two parts each. I used Partall Paste #2 then sprayed PVA and never had any issues with part removal. There is some crazing in places that requires some extra gelcoat to ensure the mirror image flaw gets sanded off without hitting the reinforcement.
The fuel tank retains the factory edge around the perimeter. The fuel tank fabrication requires:- Fabrication of an internal drain from the fuel filler recess
- Tank mounts need to be bonded on
- Bonding of the upper and lower halves
- Threaded metal inserts glassed in for the petcock and fuel filler
- A metal tab be bonded under the fuel cap opening for the fuel cap to catch on
- Fuel resistant resin
- An RZ350 flip open filler cap
- The desire to have the coolest LC tank around
