Standard roll wrapped tubes lay-up

Hello,

I'm looking to run a finite element analysis to determine which of your standard tubes would be most suitable for use as wishbones. Would it be possible to get information on the lay-up of your standard tubes? Particularly the 14mm ID and 18mm ID tubes.

Also I'm a bit unfamiliar with the roll wrapping process and was wondering if the process electrically insulates the tube on the inside in any way so as to avoid corrosion as it shall be in contact with aluminium.

Lastly I was hoping to find out if you offer a tube cutting service before sending the tubes out for delivery as I would not be confident in our ability to cut the tubes in our workshop here.

Thanks,

Stuart

They are all made using the same carbon and glass pre-preg.

In terms of adhesive you would be looking at our ET series of permabond adhesives.

Be careful to ensure both surfaces are roughed before bonding to ensure a good adhesion.
