Randy:
found this one: The correct english expression is "crowfoot weave"

"The crowfoot weave is achieved when one warp yarn weaves over three and under one fill yarn. Crowfoot weaves offer more pliability and drapability than plain weave fabrics."

Why outsource: It is just for economical and quality reasons. Martin has all the materials available, he is quick and affordable; Although i could do it, his parts are of outstanding quality. He achieves a great fiber to resin ratio, giving the most lightweight parts with high stability. I have a seat mould for my racebikes. Once i made a part by myself and all other parts out of it where made by Martin. THe difference in weight, stability and appearance ( he just know how to put in layer for layer in the correct directions to take all the forces) is just so visible, that i prefer his competence for parts which are finally going on to the car.
and
believe me there are nicer things to do than this fiberglass work.
