As I have a better understanding of how flexible the 914 is, I'm planning on building a C/F targa top and rigidly mounting it to the chassis. My question is: how many layers do you think I need to get a reasonable amount of structural stiffness. I've ordered some 7oz plain weave that is about .015" thick. Right now I'm thinking of 5 layers: 3 layers with the weave aligned with the sides and 2 layers with the weave at a 45* angle, alternating layers. This should yield a thickness of over .075" which I would think would be a good start. As this is my first attempt at C/F and wanting to achieve strength and stiffness, I would like some advice from someone with C/F experience.....
