Anyone know of a supplier carrying more unique weave patterns, who would ship an amount less than an entire roll. I’ve been using 4x4 twill and 4 harness weaves.
edit:
why did I put this under equipment
What else are you looking for? The weaves you’re currently using are strong and have good drapeability.
You only need a different weave pattern if looking to reinforce a part a certain way or need specific conformability.
Or for cosmetic reasons…
Yeah it’s cosmetic. It would only be for The showing ply. The rest would still be 4x4.
This would be fantastic over the 4x4.
This sample has too many lose strands though.
Hmm…might be able to contact the weavers directly (3tex, T.E.A.M, A&P Braiders, etc) and see if they can hook you up with some samples (always say you are interested in larger purchases later on! 
)
They might only ship a yard or 2…but it’s worth a shot to see what they have in stock that is for show.
I have some flat tow 12k material. Super strong and looks really unique (I think). Not really an unusual weave but interesting none the less.
I have a full roll from Toray (can’t sell) but I have pieces from other rolls.

Love it…looks fantastic. PM me if your willing to part with some samples and let me know what sizes are drops perhaps …I’ll look for a way to utilize that.

I actually have some of that “checkerboard” weave. Haven’t got around to using it yet.
Please tell me that’s only unpainted for testing! Has an interesting look, but a nice paint job looks way better.
What class is that for? I use to track a SR3 several years ago. Fun stuff, and thinking about getting into prototypes once again
I believe that is a WF1 series car. Same class at the Radicals using 1000cc motorcycle motors.
