Now I wouldnt think of changing the construction techniques, but I was thinking for critical areas like the engine mount bolt supports, or bonding ribs, etc. This might be an added advantage. BTW, for those not familiar, the triaxial cloth has anadditional weave of fibers running through it in more of a circular fashion, how they do that I have no Idea. Any Comments? Has anyone used this? Is it worth the bother? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
