davelepka 4 #2 February 22, 2008 There's a company in California that should have a plate that size. I think it's called Bonehead Composites, or something like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #3 February 22, 2008 The regular FTP top plate is only 7 inches wide. Hell, its only normally 9.5 long. Lonnie, start leaving some of the shit on the ground, you can't take all of the B&H catalog with you on every jump DSE posted a resource in Hong Kong I think the other month, a second closer option for a 10*10 sheet of 1/8 carbon fiber would be a tuner body shop. They tend to have all sorts of CF laying around you can buy from them locally.

DSE 3 #4 February 22, 2008 EbaySeriously, I found a LOT of options and opportunities on Ebay. Between Dragon, Bonehead, and various Ebay sources, plus a few other suppliers, I've burned through about 400.00 in CF this year, experimenting with different options. but a 9.5 x 10, allowing 1.5" on each side, rounded off, makes for a very nice helmet setup, IMO. One of the tops I made curves to the back so the rear half of the plate is matched perfectly to the helmet, but the front is wider. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #5 February 22, 2008 Bonehead offers a wide plate as well.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 3 #8 February 23, 2008 They did stop offering the wide plate, although it is on their website. I pretty much begged Linda for one, but I guess they're a PITA for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
