Re: Al honeycomb

Hexcel rings a bell. Lost the phone number, but whoever it was is in
nuneaton and used to be CibaGeigy composites

Its 197 for a sheet of 2500mm by 1250mm by 12.5, which should be enough to
do 2 se7ens.  They will do smaller or bigger if you want.

I must have got them on a good day, as the guy was very helpful. Mind you I
just phoned and said 'how much for a sheet of Aerolam' .

I never took the next step, which was looking at how you could fold it
around the frame tubes to get the full advantage of the stiffness, mainly as
you really need a running car before you start trying to improve it.
