Hello,
I'm buying a zeeko spitfire and want to mount it on my old shinnster. The shinnster has a fair bit of flex and I'd like to stiffen it up with a removable plate, similar to the new shinnster plate (110cmx20cmx1cm). However, I'm unsure on which material i should use for the core of the reinforcement to give the best compromise in stiffness per dollar and kg. Originally it was suggested to me to use g10 wrapped in carbon and vacuum bagged, but I'm wondering whether I can get away with cedar or another type of wood or something else to use wrapped in carbon. I don't mind if I need to make the reinforcement plate a little thicker if I use wood instead of g10. What materials would you guys use and how thick would you build it? Thanks
