Ah, he was wearing a mask when he said it, that explains it

Have you seen stuff that I make? Functional, often over engineered but rarely aesthetically pleasing! Actually although a straight pair would be an improvement a custom set would be even better if possible.

why would you want them without the bend? i can make them like that but they need the bend for the attaching point. you cant heat them and bend them to shape once its cured

I need them not only without the bend but the same length as if they had a bend, if you know what I mean?

if you read the full descriptions there though gazza most of them are 'carbon effect' or single layer carbon with the rest of the plys being fibreglass!

Yeah all the crap was thrown in there aswell among the real carbon sheet!

But I still think that it would be a better use of your resources to make me an airbox rather than just knocking out flat sheet.....

If I'm getting custom carbon brackets made on reflection I wouldn't want flat anyway.

I,m sure I could knock you up an air box out of flat sheet Carbon Gazza
