A method of manufacturing a part, the method comprising: arranging a first set of components (30, 31, 33, 36),on an outer face of a first inner mould line tool (1); arranging a second set of components on an outer face of a second inner mould line tool (1); fitting one or more spacers (49, 122) between the inner mould line tools, with the spacer(s) engaging inner faces of the inner mould line tools so as to maintain a desired spacing between the inner mould line tools; forming a layer around the inner mould line tools; fitting outer mould line tools (106) on opposite sides of the inner mould line tools; moulding the part by compressing the layer and the components between the inner and outer mould line tools; removing the spacer(s); disengaging the inner mould line tools from the part after the spacer(s) have been removed; and removing the inner mould line tools from the part. The tool set is comprising at least two inner mould line tools and at least two outer mould line tools and one or more spacers adapted to be removably fitted between the inner mould line tools (1) so as to maintain a desired spacing between the inner mould line tools. |
