I'm planning to make this bracket with CF but don't have a lot of experience working with it and need advice.
1) the radius of .5 in the ones with the ? mark. How small can I go? Thinking about using vacuum forming.
2) For the shape. I'm thinking about making a male in wood, lay the fabric on top and once is cure machining the contour. Is this a good idea?
3) What about the thread. Should I make a metal insert ?
Any advice would be welcome.
thanks
