David and others,

I have a friend who makes fibreglass items for a living. He has several
moulds for toroids. Is it possible to use a fibreglass toriod and cover it
with say aluminium kitchen foil? If there is any way to make use of these
please let me know. I am going to build a new TC from scratch thanks to the
help of one of our resident experts, Malcom Watts. If I can use the
fibreglass toroid I will have to design the new system to suit the toroid.
One of the moulds is 8" diameter of the hollow section. What is the ideal
TOTAL diameter of an 8" toroid?
