carbon sheet supplier or manufacturer around Cardiff?

[m33ufo]

I need some carbon fibre sheet, only around an A3 size. I'm hoping to buy this locally so that I can take a look at the sheet to get an idea or rigidity and flexibility before deciding on a thickness.

Anywhere local to Cardiff who either manufacture or supply this stuff?

This is the kind of thing I'm looking for - Just unsure whether I'll need 0.2, 0.4 or 0.75mm thickness.

Don't know if your still looking ? might be able to help you out ,spent the last 30 yrs in F1 doing composites
have a house in port Talbot with my mrs was home this weekend but wont be back in wales for another couple of weeks
Bit busy at the moment doing the chassis for 2014
can do most cloth types/weaves depending on what you want and would be autoclaved cured which is a lot better than oven cured

Hey Rob,

Much appreciate the reply.

I did end up ordering a sheet of 0.4mm thickness from Carbonology at the end of last week. Should receive it by the end of this week. Hopefully it'll be suitable for what I require. It needs to offer a degree of flexibility to allow it to be sandwiched between two slightly curved components and close off one exhaust exit at the back of a Nissan GTR - I've fitted a single exit exhaust so the off side exit is no longer used.

The light grey shroud is removable and you can then sandwich a sheet of carbon between it and the rear of the bumper cover.






This is the panel I'm trying to replicate...







If you are able to produce something then I'd love to see it especially if it's a better quality solution - can't beat F1 quality after all!!

Ideally I'd like to match the weave of the OEM diffuser. Like this...
