[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 802205, member: 325666"] Sorry m8 ..I can't give quatities as I just bought materials as needed .. As to measurements ...there weren't any ... If you read the thread from the begining it was explained in detail how I approached the problem .. Basically I made a mold cast to emulate the last or outer portion of one petal ... The using that mold cast from the original surface of the dish ..and made wider to follow the radial lines from the dish center spreading out to create wings which were the natural contnuation of 1 wing .... I then used the single mold created to manufacture 6 _actual_ petal extensions in roving cloth fibreglass ... Formed to give edges for structure and attachment ..to the main dish.. Structured ribs added to the non signal reflecting side to maintain shape .. And each wing extension laminated with layers of fibreglass tissue ..and Aluminium sheet in the form of 4 inch wide radial adhesive strips .. Final layet of gelcoat for weather protection.. Its all there in the thread ...the photos are simply to aid and inform.. the devil is in the detail. sorry I can't give more information than I already provided ..and there is a lot of that if you read it thoroughly. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
