The next attempt at making the mould went really quite well. The mould is flawless and with the final sanding/polishing will be ready to pop carbon parts out of it! Here it is freshly popped out and still has the surface texture of the original part. This will be sanded to a glass like smooth finish.

The bolt holes need a bit of tidy up. I left them as posts on the mould as I was unsure what the best way of simplifying the finishing of the part would be. I will be grinding these down to little nibs to act as pilot depressions for drilling into the carbon part.
The soon to be defunct ABS plastic part, still perfectly servicable.
