finding materials

im having trouble finding sheets of aluminium honeycomb.

im sort of bouncing around ideas and i want to look into several options for my project and with pricew being the main concern i want to cost all my options up before doing any massive design work.

incase your wondering, if i go with this idea using honeycomb aluminium, it will be a sort of single seater similar to the caparo, but sort of like a classic ff... (pretty good design in my head )

so if anyone knows about where to get aluminum honeycomb sheet and the epoxy, please let me know !

thankyou

googled for it.

everything you need here (at least all the materials).

What about the back of either of the staniforth, or bike engine hill climb book. They both have lists of suppliers.

You seriously need to buy yourself a copy of the race & rally design source book, it will help you with materials, geoometry, designing etc etc the author walk you through his signle seater built from scratch for hill climbing. Top book!
