I am planning on building my first Falcate Bracing Guitar using Gore/Gilet Design/Build Books. At this stage I am searching for the specifications for the Carbon Fiber Tape Weave used for the bracing, the Carbon Fiber Bridge Patch and the recommended places to purchase these items. Where can it be purchased in Australia? Or, is better to get in the US? I know there is a vast amount knowledge and expertise in the forum on this subject.
I would appreciate some help to source this information.

For the bracing i use the unidirectional tape found here:

And pull the strands out as i need them..
They also sell cloth suitable for bridge plates etc.

These guys keep changing their name but are still in the same business and is where I've bought the CF products called for in the books. The cloth (1m wide) is much more economical to buy than tape (or was!). Give them a call and see if they still stock CF.
