Not bike related at this time, but does anyone know of any high quality short turn around time c/f fabricators who can handle some parts up to 36"x48" with a convoluted surface structure or other parts up to 60" long and around 7"-12" rough cylindrical shape covering a profile up to 36" offset/go-around? More designs will come later that are in the works.

Tooling of some sort is made, just need a shop to do the layup and processing, 1-12 needed ASAP, up to 60 pieces each to come later. Quality must be high end finish and cosmetically clean.

Al @ asb , can your people handle this?

Anyone else?

This has nothing to do with the XBRR bodywork, but probably is a similar situation to what they're going thru.

This request is just being done as a favor by me and contact info will be passed along.

Ping me and I'll check my email a few times a day. In the mean time I'm off to check on some marine suppliers to see if they can maybe handle the job as well.

Hardly anything at all.
I'd post pics, but only with approval.

MikeJ, call HalsPA and see who they use for their ram air setup, and body work?

How soon?

That's what I do but I'm here in Fort Worth TDY for a month.

Contact my friends at Fiberset - tell Marie that Slaughter referred you.

"Short turn around time" are not words that I would use to describe my main CF vendor. "Excellent quality", "Good workmanship", "Great finish", and "very capable" are all words I'd use, but speedy isn't.

They're looking for a proof of concept part built on their molds, then the rest can come as they get done as I understand it. This is a friend of a friend situation, so apart from me knowing what the parts are for I haven't seen the designs.

I forwarded the fiberset info to them. Also the HalsPA contact info, but I'm not too sure how open HalsPA will be to distracting their vendor to other tasks and I can't remember who they said their vendor was.

Al or Joanne, would it impact your needs if your main vendor brought in additional work? If not can I direct them to you as well to either work out a distributor arrangement with them or as a referral thru you? (You confused me, Joanne posts under Al's name sometimes and recently has posted under her own login, now her login has "Al" signed, oh well it's all good anyway.)

Thanks for the leads.

Slaughter,
You have a "heads up" email.
I just got some news 10 minutes ago.
Due care and caution advised.
