    Cool,
    Where is Stuff when you need him? I think he found it hard to compete in the market on a small scale and make it viable.


    Is Ken Hi Tech composites?

    I looked Kiwi Composites previously, I think they were renamed

    Yes Ken is Hi-Tec.

    Yeah i think Kiwi Composites was renamed Southfort Labs or similar.

    Another NZ stock manufacturer was sold or relocated to Aussie, cant remember their name but their stocks werent anywhere near the quality of Hi-Tecs
