Title: Anyone have a source for small fiber panels?
Post by: GrindCustoms on July 28, 2016, 04:20:21 AM
I thought i'd post this here since there's lots of guy that DIY bunch of things, i'm searching for small panels like.... 12x24inch 1/8-2mm thick Carbon Fiber or Graphite Fiber, the laminated stuff.

I need that stuff to build custom engine throttle body butterflys and for my R/C cars....

Thanks!

Rej, quick update, six degrees of separation... my wife was messaging our niece who talked to her husband, he hasn't done any carbon fiber for a while but would like to get back into it but his dad's still playing around with carbon fiber. He thinks his dad switched suppliers but his dad is also not around at the moment but will check it out once his dad get's back.
