Default Source for ABS plastic?



Does anybody know of a good source for ABS plastic? I removed too much material from a cowl and have made it flimsy. Is there another way to fix it? Building up the hole with fiberglass would seem heavy. Wrong thought?</p>

If you need some ABS I have some .020,.030,and .040 in 12 x 18" sheets.  $3 a sheet..

But i think the easiest way to fix your problem is to glass the inside with  some fiber glass cloth. I would personally  rough up the inside of the cowl with sand paper and then lay the cloth in place and use medium CA to adhere the cloth..It work great and fast too.....

Yep, I will concer with that. I have fixed many a cowl with a couple of layers of .6 oz cloth and thin or medium Zap.
No worries. Light and fast.

Cheers,

Brad
