Anyone know of a good source for carbon fiber in Canada (I'm looking for neck reinforcement)? If not who are the preferred US suppliers? Thanks Josh |

Are you looking for prepared laminates or raw materials? If you are looking for materials and are willing to laminate your own stock I'd suggest Noah's Marine as a good source. Excellent service and a wide range of materials. http://www.noahsboatbuilding.com/noahma ... sp?url=IND |

I've always just ordered mine from Jim Watts at Los Alamos Composites ... good pricing & service. |

Los Alamos is closing shop when their current supply is sold out (based on their reply to a recent inquiry) |

Not in Canada, but Mario uses these guys: http://www.acpsales.com/ These guys have Canadian offices and sell CF (subsidiary of Thyssen Krupp): http://www.onlinemetals.com/ohcanada.cfm |

Looks like ACP and Dragon plate have about the same pricing... online metals is out to lunch ... |

Josh- I've had good service from TheCompositeStore in the US. They will ship USPS if you ask. http://www.cstsales.com/ Not all carbon fiber rectangles are the same- hard to judge quality differences from suppliers, so price comparisons are chancy. For .125 x .500 bar, 48" long: CST $13 ACP $15.50 Dragon $16 Basically all the same price, so it will come down to shipping costs and service.... Cheers John |
