     The reason I thought an aramid is for abrasion if I ever go off track into the kitty litter, what I did think of doing is cutting it out making a lol around the outer then 2 maybe 5mm flat bar straps...

     Thanks for the replies, not seen this dyneema, is it the same sort of process as laying carbon?
