Carbon fiber, vacuum bagging technique?
Would love to hear of others experience with laying up Carbon fiber, and "VACUUM BAGGING" for a stronger result! Incidently I have done a bit of normal fiberglass work over the years, but still learning!
About to cover my transmission tunnel with uni-directional carbon lengthways on the corners and 2-3 layers of double biased carbon, completely over the tunnel with a flange enabling it to be bolted to the chassis, tubing at each end of tunnel to crossmembers etc - to provide a hopefully effective backbone with some additional torsional rigidity. Reason is my Cobra, has a ladder platform chassis, which is limiting by its own nature, thought of adding a tubular backbone but the main rails are about 26.5" apart.
"THIS GUY WONT ACCEPT HE CANT ENHANCE IT, FOR THE VERY LITTLE TIME IT WILL BE ON THE RACE TRACK!
Any info gratefully appreciated
