>I'm thinking that I need to cut the bid into three pieces
Rick - as a monowheel builder I'm not familiar with this tri-gear
part of the build. However, alarm bells start to ring when I think
about cutting a re-inforcing item into pieces.
Graham Singleton or others with wider knowledge will correct me, but
I'm sure you need to consider the potential weakness introduced by
cutting the glass before layup. It may be possible to recover the
lost strength by edge overlaps of the glass plies, but I'm not
qualified to say where or how much.
regards
Rowland
