If your chasing materials in the UK Mike I buy from Carbonolgy, and Easy Composites. There is a place in Warrington Lancs that I'm just chasing up a number for now.
Carbonolgy do two types of finish too but that reflects in the price of course. Quality is excellent from both companies. Wherever you buy from stress that its for aerospace use and that you don't want any percentage of glass in the carbon layers. If your not specific the descriptions from some companies can be a little vague over the purity. Hope this helps Ray.
Rock West composites and Dragon plate seem to be the most accessible and can fill small orders like single plate and tubing. They also feature a decently sized catalog of stock sizes etc
This response may be a couple of years delayed but i want to update the DIY Drone community on where we are at. We have added quite a few products to our website.
We now offer an extensive selection of carbon fiber tubes and carbon fiber plates. For anyone interested in custom products please reach out to us. Our goal is to provide the highest quality composites at the lowest possible price.
I hope everyone's projects are going well, we'd be happy to help!

I have purchased all the 3K CF sheet/tube I have used from this EBay supplier: http://stores.ebay.com/happychoice2009
I line in New Zealand and the service has been very prompt - typically 7-10 days from China. The quality of the goods has been absolutely fine.
Thanks for the info guys!
