Hi, I am assembling a racing engine component which calls for an Ergo 4052 securing agent to go between a metal stud and a plastic thread. I can't seem to find such a thing anywere. Is there a Loctite equivalent to this? Thanks...

Griffy, Thanks for the info. I will check those out.

Pat, Thanks for the info.

Pat, thanks for the advice. In addition, do you know of any step by step guide for constructing a simple carbon fiber part (say a flat sheet)?

CMcF/MintJulep, Thanks for the tips. I am planning on getting some fabric and resin to make a few flat pieces just get a feel of it. Any idea where I may find a step by step instruction on how to layup and vacum bagging?

MintJulep, The reasons for carbon fiber are that the part must be as thin and light as possible and looks cool. Since the part has a fixed shape, I am hoping to control its stiffness at different loction by using different number layer of fabric...

MintJulep, Thanks for the cfa link, very helpful information for me who has no experience in this area. I am not sure about sex appeal. Haven't seen any woman impressed by carbon fiber parts on motor cycles or in cars. But it does provide a cool factor for guys. The reason I am looking...

Griffengm, Thanks for the lead. I have not been able to track down how do get a back issue of the "Aero Sport Connection" mag yet, but it sounds just like what I need.

Pat, I am in San Diego, CA...

Hi, Hi, I am looking at constructing a carbon fiber part that is essentially a 9"x12" sheet bent into a U shap. It need to have a strength comparable to a part made form 16 gauge sheet steel. I would most appreciate if some one could kindly point me to - a description of process and...
