Where To Buy Pre Fab Carbon Fibre Sheet In Sydney?

[Beer Baron]

Hi guys,

I need to get a small piece of pre-resined carbon sheeting. It must be real carbon. dont want any coloured weave, just the regular black/grey weave is fine. Could possibly buy some weave then just do the layers and resin myself but i'd prefer pre-fab. It's just to fill a hole in the centre console and will then use it to mount some switches etc.

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

thanks mate will give them a call.

anyone know of any other places, or anyone have some offcuts? I only need 1 din size piece. approx 18cm wide by 6cm high.

We've got some... bought off a supplier in Brookvale. If you want I'll get you the supplier details, otherwise tell me what size you want and I'll see if I can find some offcuts.

thanks stan. need 1 piece (prefab), flat, approx 7cmX20cm

I'll take a look for you tonight and let you know tomorrow... we've just finished the prototype of my CAI box in CF so we should have something left over

What like this??

[Beer Baron]

exactly like that! only just black/grey CF instead of kevlar weave, and also half that size (replacing the 3 gauge cluster).

but i'll take kevlar weave in a pinch if someone had some lying around (hint paul!).

i'm excited. i'm going to use that space to mount the defi link controller and the dirtgarage D1 edition awd switch. and maybe relocate the ultra speed meter there too.

If that falls through, try going to a boat building place, there are a few around that make the sydney to hobart boats... We used to get their 'offcuts' to make our body work for a little SAE car. Cant remember who we used last year but its worth a shot, not something that comes to mind at first though is it!!

Do you have an oven? remember the pre-preg stuff needs baking!!

[Beer Baron]

thank mate, yep i do have an oven. but i think a flat sheet that has already been laid and coated wont need any more prep work. just drill my holes and bolt it in.

any joy with CRD Paul?

Ahh yep, sorry i didnt realise it was just going to be a flat sheet that you want.

Good luck with it, post pics for general interest when you are done?

I am about to go to CRD myself, been speaking with a bloke called Jim, i need a few things done to my car. Hopefully within the next few days, things keep getting put on hold for me. I just want my car fixed, running nicely and back on the road

i may have sum left over if you want it, its only thin tho (1mm) carbon weave , guess can glue it to 2mm perspex to make it thicker, so yeh let me know if you need it.

thanks for the kind offer Aaron. I'm going to chase up a lead tomorrow morning, but if they haven't got what i need i may take you up on that. we have some resin left and i guess i could just buy some regular fibreglass weave to make it 1 layer CF, 2 layer fibre...

I will let you know

Hi Aaron, if BB doesn't need it, I will take it. I need to replace a gauge panel and a POD heat shield cover so 1mm would be perfect. What are the dimensions?

cheers

Biatch,

There's a place in the same complex as UAS that does custom carbon fibre work... They were working on this 100% carbon fibre body race car the last time I dropped by.

The guy is very eccentric, but he does amazing work. He made custom sized sheets for this exact application for me a few years ago... Very cheap too. From memory I got him to do 3 layers of carbon (ended up being about 3mm thick and BLOODY STRONG), and a gloss top coat in double-din size, and it cost me about $30-40.

Can't remember the shop number, but I think the guy's name was Alan. John will remember the guy if you ask him.
