Changed 10 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Would like to have a go at this over the next month. Any tips on where to get reasonably priced carbon tube? Needs to be 3.5m long with a 5.5mm wall thickness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ladyhawk 37 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 There's no such thing as reasonably priced carbon tube but I had great service and heaps of good advice from Tim at C-Tech I think I paid about $800 inc shipping and gst for a 90 x 6mm wall 1.5m long with clear coat finish and a layer of carbon twill on the outside to make it look purty. They also added some fibreglass in the required areas as insulation againt the alloy fittings that it will have bonded to it. Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bradz 18 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Kilwell in Rotorua for sure. It would pay to take a drive and see them business hours. Take some cash, there is a good few seconds out the back they will show you through. Modify your design to suit what you can get. Last I was there I picked up a few bits that together made a 49er mast for nix. Longest section was about 4m from memory. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
