Hi,
   I've bought the carbon fibre naca vent from you which I'll be bonding to an aluminium bonnet to feed cool air to ITBs. Looking through your store the permabond 515 looked like it would fit the bill but I would appreciate some advice from someone who knows more than I do. Additionally how much would I need to bond the duct as its sold in 50ml or 400ml quantities. 
I've also been told I need to seal the aluminium before bonding carbon fibre to it otherwise it would cause corrosion. Is there a specific product for sealing it or can I just use a normal epoxy primer?

Cheers

Aaron

You will only need the smallest amount  - i.e. the 25 ml syringe should be enough .. that also saves you buying the "gun" for the 50 ml "cartridge"

Really you can use any good epoxy or methacrylate bonding glue it will be easily strong enough for boding in the ducts

Good luck ,and please post  pics :-D
