Cheers Matthieu. The second set worked out a lot better.. I now have to do some Honda WSB ones after someone saw those... lol..
The tubes are three layers all over with between 4 and 5 layers where it is weakest to just add a little strength but it is localised strengthening to be honest. The original ones are a bit squashy so adding a little reinforcement makes people happier even though the original ones are not as rigid.
Yes the vac bagging was from Vac Innovations. I used a narrow bag for the inside of the tube and an 18 inch wide one for the main outer bag. Just remember the rolls are 75m long for tubes under 12 inches wide but 12 inch and over they are 150m long. They are a good bunch of guys and will be at the Composites show. I buy all my breather and vac bag from them now. Apart from when I need 1m or wider. I dont need too much of the wider bagging at the moment. Plus I need to make up a rack for wider rolls... lol..
I will post some photos of the Honda tubes when they are done.
