Does anyone know where I can buy red fibre in sheet form? I need 1/16" and 1/8"
Thanks!
Ian

Have you tried Novus Sealing Ltd?

I took a look at their product catalogue, but they don't seem to have anything that looks like red fibre. I actually need it for the small round 'biscuits' that separate the streamine flying wires on the Tiger Moth where they cross - so they should at least look like the original red fibre material. The 16th inch I need is for a similar application inside the wings where drag wires cross, so the appearance in there doesn't matter.

Ian,
Do you mean the stuff that fibre washers are made of ?

Thanks Peter - I''ll contact them to see if they can point me to the source of some 1/8" as well.

Could you not stick 2 layers together with some suitable glue. Mike
