hey all,
I had a question nagging me for a while about the use of carbon fiber. When you design the CF part, lets say in this case a whole tub, how do you attach metallic parts to it? As in suspension mounting points, engine mounting points, etc. Is there a layer of metal in between the layers of CF? or just bonded to the outside with loctite? I'd be worried with just CF, you can't tap it since it isn't uniform enough, so you wouldn't be able to bolt anything on? Also, bearing mounts, etc that i'd worry about. Maybe CF wheels too, just bonded to the alum. part or bolted or what?
Anybody care to enlighten me? I feel like a nooB!!
