What bendy plastic?
Does anyone know what the best material is for flexible bendy bits?
Thanks Apricot

Thanks Daz. Any Idea what thickness is best? 6mm? 8mm? maybe 3mm doubled up?

I would try 3mm (single thickness, not doubled up as you have suggested). Should be flexible enough to form your corners, but not too rigid that it doesn't want to bend. It won't crack or break on you, and should bounce any cars which hit it back to the track.

The stuff that arrived seemed pretty floppy so in the end I did double up the main bends and half doubled up the end pieces.
They were tested out on Sunday and they worked very well.

What are the small white 'dots' on the wood pieces?
Are they designed to fit snug in the pipe work |

the very small white dots are the cross pins that hold the button in. the other white dots are exactly as you said, for a snug fit in the pipework.

Well done Phil, cracking effort.
How did it go using it in anger at the weekend?

It went really well.
All the bendy stuff is exactly the same shape it was before the battering. No more folks getting wheels snagged off on miss aligned pipes. And best of all for me, no embarrasing screw ups. See you at the next meeting?

Great stuff, I dropped out during two heats from clipping the barriers on my first time out there. I'm really looking forward to the next meeting but I won't be home in time for the one on the 8th Jan. Next one for me is the 4 hr Endurance (22nd Jan) and then the club meet after that on the 5th Feb.
