Fluke-Motorsport sell carbon fiber sheets in varying thicknesses and plys.

Interior panels only need to be between 1 and 2 mm of thickness, bonded and riveted on.

Retails at something upwards of £100 per 1000mm by 500mm i think.

or do a search on carbon effect ABS sheet if you don't have to use real Carbon fibre weave.

Hi,

I used this guy called Matt. It was £75 for a 1000x500 sheet and superb quality.

Bit O/T I know but just out of interest how easy is this stuff to cut? Is it a masking tape and hacksaw jobbie, can you use a jigsaw with a fine blade or does it splinter?

A decent pair of tinsnips cuts the 1mm sheet very nicely.





"just like that !"

Hi

For cutting carbon fibre the best things to use are grit edged hacksaw blades available from screwfix direct.

This is what I was supplied with on a carbon fibre course.

B&Q sell the hacksaw blades in the same style - cuts like butter.
