Carbon fibre

   Hi everyone,
I'm currently looking at making a carbon, mast mounted, GPS bracket and was just wondering if anyone had any similar experience? I'm mainly trying to find out what type of mat would be best to use and how many layers you'd expect to use, obviously the bracket is only going to be small so I'd rather compromise on weight slightly for strength but have no real idea of how many layer's I'm going to need!
Thanks in advance for any responses,
Ben

	I would give Mike at Aardvark a shout (posts on here as Aardvark Issues). He makes brackets amongst other things.
