So,
Carbon fiber is 6 times stronger than steel. here are my thoughts. take off the outer rocker. Fix the rust with new steel. sandblast the area Lay on a layer of CF directly to the inner long front to back, wrap in to the bottom and top horizontal layers. when using CF and bonding it to steel, I have read that you would use an epoxy resin to bond it directly to the steel, so it would be the same as putting por 15 on steel (por 15 is an epoxy layer) So, thoughts? plus, minus?

thats cool manipulate my response when you quote me, make CF appear as CB "cardboard" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
I actually may have a clue about how some of these things work..Besides being a PE, I am very involved with AWS(CWI), and NACE. I have done structural analysis for years CF reinforcement may be applicable, but many controls need to be in place.. first would be preparing the substrate with a proper anchor profile., which is probably beyond the capability of a home mechanic. It would be much easier and cost effective to weld some reinforcments in the hot spots.. Por-15?...lets find out which composite mfg recommends that to be used with their fabric. |
