Does anyone know a source for large diameter carbon fiber tubing? I am in need of some with a 9" o.d. for a ongoing scope project.

Thanks in advance,
Dan Lamoreaux

Hi Dan:

I was hoping to see someone else answer your question... I would like to find a large diameter carbon fiber tube for a project as well. The only place I have found that makes suitable tubes is here:

I am sure the tubes are world class, but they are kind of budget breakers.

Dan do you need the pretty looking stuff or do you need something extremely strong.
