Default 3D Cad files for forged carbon fiber

Hey!

Does anyone happen to know where to find or have 3D cad files for the F Type parts?

I found some suppliers who can do forged carbon fiber and wanted sample the paddle shifters, hood & side vents. But they require the CAD files.

Anyone know where I can find these?

with as limited as the market is for F type aftermarket parts, fabricators, trying to recover their costs, are extremely protective of their proprietary information. It is unlikely that anyone will be publishing CAD files publicly.

We did have a guy on here a few years ago who scanned the engine cover at least and made a carbon fiber version. Haven’t heard from him in a few years.

1. You could buy a scanner and convert the files yourself (range from 3k-20k as far as I'm familiar)
2. Lower cost - you could take a micrometer/digital calipers, take measurements and then send them your own CAD files at your own risk
3. You could see if the supplier will do this via their equipment if you ship them your parts (e.g. OCarbon will, others can skin it without impacting tolerances much, depends if you want real CF or not).
