Just thinking out loud here, but does anyone know where to source and/or prices of large diameter carbon fibre or fibreglass tubing over here.
I have done a quick google search and all i seem to get is small diameter stuff for car customization.
I used to work in a resin manufacturers R&D department in the uk, so i do know that carbon fibre is expensive stuff.
Just wanted to price up a possible scope tube made out of this material.
Resin is another option and at a push, i could even make a tube from it without much equipment. Just raw materials.
Any help at all would be cool.
Thanks for reading :thumbsupmate: ...........

Carbon fibre? Hmm :hmm:

I do know where you can get this in Perth Tony. I was talking to someone last week about buying it. As I sit here and look at my screen, I cannot remember who I was speaking with or what the conversation was about. It will pop into my head soon mate, honest. :Chessy_Smile:

I will let you know as soon as I remember.

Cheers
