what is this you mean by sheet? if you mean an already set and cured in epoxy sheet then i can make pieces of any size and thickness for reasonable prices for forum members.

Alpha-7. I still didn't get it.. I don't know why.. here is my email again: sohnp@email.uc.edu

rockshox.. well, I thought about sending it out.. but since I want to do the whole interior, i thought it might be cheaper and I don't have to worry about shipping..

But if I fail, i'll contact you..
do you think you could give some pointers??

oh you want to cover your interior. my advice is practice practice practice on something cheap. because replacing or fixing all those plastic pieces will not be easy or cheap.
