There is currently a worldwide shortage of carbon fiber material,

at this time we will not be taking orders on our carbon fiber parts until further notice,



The Following Notice has been issued by our suppliers of carbon fabric:

************** Important Notice *******************
Due to the worldwide carbon fiber shortage we are out of stock of most of our carbon cloths.

We forsee a high probability of running out of all carbon cloths. Supplies are so scarce that it is very likely anyone requiring carbon fiber cloth will need to convert to fiberglass or S2 fiberglass(s-glass) to continue manufacturing.

We will keep our website updated as availability changes, unfortunately these shortages
are far beyond any control either we or any other distributor has.
Thank you for your understanding.

Most Commonly Asked Question:
Q. When will you be getting in more of this cloth?
A. Unfortunately we do not know. The weavers of the cloth are unable to secure the raw carbon tow used to make the cloths due to high aerospace and defense demands as well as scattered stockpiling by end users of material which makes the shortage even more severe.
