rtz Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Anyone built one before? I’m looking to buy an off the shelf carbon tube. Looking for ways to attach either a threaded fitting to the end or a stud. gannet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannet Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hopefully that helps The grub screw goes into the s/s tube , carbon tube and s/s pipe, but not the nuts. I get the cabon tube from C-Tech nz. I use a thick wall carbon tube so it only flexs on a hard landing and will not break or bend like s/s. I've made foil shape axles before and they work very well, just a shit load more work to make the end plugs and mount to side rails. And before you ask NO I'm way to busy, making a E-Foil at the mo .Joel, andy666 and DrWind 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landslide Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Sharp tool and a high speed to machine carbon fibre. I use standard tool steel and get a good finish without the furry bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
