Blazing brazing

Some nice weather at the weekend meant i got chance to work through my backlog of 'waiting to be brazed on' bits and pieces. Front subframe is now done, battery mounts, footpeg mounts, mudguard brackets, allsorts.
Decided the mudguard i bought wasn't really wide enough so i tackled widening it, added 40mm and it seems to have worked, i used carbon fiber/aramid weave to make the modifications, so it's pretty strong still despite being chopped in half.

Used some of the carbon stuff to reinforce the bodyshell mounting points too. Should help prevent them cracking. Cutting the stuff requires quite some effort too .... amazingly tuff.
