The team at Carbontec is now offering an exact replica of the banana pod found in the Ford Escort RS Cosworth. The parts shown are produced using 100% 2x2 twill carbon fibre and epoxy resin under vacuum and then post cured. This is half the weight of the original and finished in 2K matt and gloss lacquer as shown. The guys will be producing the banana pods to order, meaning the customer can specify whether they want 2x2 or 4x4 twill carbon and either matt or high gloss finishes. You can also specify which way you'd like the weave to run to suit other parts previously fitted to your interior.

Carbontec's people also tell us that the dial section can also be left in to suit those who may have aftermarket monitors. This product is made to order and will have a three-week lead time, and with a very reasonable price tag of £250 plus VAT, we can't see this being an issue.
