Carbon Fibre Suppliers
In case anybody wants to know, I've just ordered a sheet of single ply carbon fibre for the dash, 50"x18" for £45+vat. All other
suppliers that I know of sell it in 40" widths (and a bit deeper) for about the same price, which leaves it a bit short on the edges (I've
seen a number of finished cars with this problem!).
I did have a sheet of this other stuff which was a bit scratched on one side, but I cocked up the marking out, so Now it will be made into something
else!

That's a laminated single ply sheet, glassy on one side, rough on the other.

Thats not particularly cheap if you wanted to do it yourself you could do about half a dozen for that price.
I can easily match this price and do what ever you want in terms of thickness and to your own design if you fancy. I have made a honeycomb structural
dash board, which is awesomely light and very stiff.

When making a carbon dash from a flat piece what do you do about the rad that there has to be at the bottom?
I can see that if you layed it up yourself you could make it with one in it.
I made my dash out of ally and the rad i bent at the bottom made the dash a lot stiffer. I need to make it again cos im unhappy with the way ive done
the cutout around the steering wheel.
I think that i may just have about a 30mm hole in the dash for this now. Ive been thinking about cutting down the sierra steering column top section
and welding on a piece of tube with a boss on it for the steering column. This will made it look a lot tidier but im unsure about sva

Where in the world are you? I too would be interested in a boot lid (but of a more trad flat nature)! Also a flower box style "boot"
itself so i can store stuff out of the footwell.
Cheers m8.

Mark,
Speak to PTM he can do all the bits you need. I got a nice hinged boot lid from him recently, very nice.
