i have not found any evidence that it has been done. why not?
how much easier would it be to epoxy glue some carbon in certain areas than to weld. at least if you dont have a big shop. (if i start welding in my garage, the whole house stinks for a week.) so is this a crazy idea or has anybody done it? supposedly it would save weight too. is it just too expensive, maybe? thanks for any opinions, before i research this further. |

It is a freakin great idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)! things like this are done on race chassis and aerospace all the time. If you can cut the carbon sheets to fit (waterjet?) .... then prepping (roughing) mating surfaces ... you can bond carbon sheets to bare steel at room temperature with Hysol Loctite EA 9394, .... it is a bit expensive but the Hysol is just about the best epoxy for this type of application ......... as you surmised, carbon sheet reinforcements will work extremely well, for light weight doublers and chassis stiffeners .........
