Carbon fibre sheets
do any of you know of a carbon fibre supplier that could supply me with 2 panels, 4ft long, half a metre wide and 2mm thick, how much do you think it
will cost?

carbon mods do a sheet of 2sq meters (slightly less actually, which is a bit cheeky, since they call it 2 square meters...) 2mm thick at £254...
not cheap would be my answer. i'm sure there's cheaper places than them, but i'd say thats a fair guide price

Anything solid carbon is going to be a mint unless its wetlay. Trust me, I know!! 
Edited to say that anying that 'looks' like carbon will not look like carbon!!! Sorry but thats a fact.

If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

No bud! 
Mine arnt solid carbon as the cost was to prohibative. Also remember that carbon is brittle.
Best bet is a carbon face ply backed up with two plies of glass. Proper carbon look without the brittle aspect.
Fluke do what your after, (as above), in different thickness'. You dont really need 2mm for cockpit sides either,1mm- 1.5 is enough. Think mine
are 1.5 due the weaves that we used at the time.
If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

Thats all that counts then mucka!! Unfortunatly to my eyes it does, especially when pu along side the real thing. For that reason wetlay is a no no
for me as well....

A mate of mine owns a carbon business, so I did some of the stuff, he did the harder components and that includes the rear arches as they are a
biatch!!!!
