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’s been a while but to get full strength, wouldn’t the steel and carbon fiber have to be glued under vacuum?
