A method of making a wind turbine blade (10) having a metallic lightning receptor (110) is described. The method comprises configuring a wind turbine blade (10) mould assembly (100) such that a clearance region (120) is defined between a mould surface (116) of at least one mould half (112, 114) and a majority of a metallic lightning receptor component (110) when the mould assembly (100) is closed, such that contact between that mould half (112, 114) and the metallic lightning receptor component (110) is substantially avoided. In certain embodiments of the invention, one or both mould halves (112, 114) are truncated such that the metallic lightning receptor component (110) projects from the mould (100) when the mould (100) is closed. |
