Hi,

I'm looking to make a set of Carbon Fibre wishbones using tubes with aluminium bonded inserts.

Does anyone have any advice when it comes to bonding the aluminium to the carbon fibre to prevent pull out under high loads?

Specifically I am looking for advice on which glue to use and how to prepare the surface.

Thanks,

Dave

I use Araldite 2015 for metal to composite bonding. It's amazing stuff, I had the pleasure of going to a local composite bike frame 'factory' and watched them performing a load test on one of their ali/carbon bonds with Araldite 2015. The pre-preg carbon gave out before the bond, the bond actually never failed.
