Early Ducati 851 and 888 Air Conveyors / Runners
We have been working on a few Ducati race parts which will be ready in a few more weeks once all the moulds have been made.
One of these parts being worked on are the early 851/888 air conveyors / runners displayed here. They are not the earliest of types, however they differ slightly from the 1991, 1992 and 1993 items that I have seen previously in the way that they have been constructed and put together. This original set are very light and thin, using only one layer of carbon with a further layer of E-fibre backing, thus the passage of time has not been favourable to them with plenty of cracks and splits in evidence.
Perhaps this is why later items are slightly thicker which should make the item far sturdier and less prone to damage through use. Once all the splits have been repaired we shall make moulds from the item and be able to produce reproduction parts, made to the original specification or thicker if that is what you wish to have.
