"where can I find G10 or G20 board?"

I give up. I Goggled it and was treated to the 1991 Chevy Van and a few other things.

So...what the heck are G10 or G20 boards? Is it a foam board? OBS Chip board, Anything will do. A chunk of metal?

skip. Sorry to be so dumb. The factory uses good old ply wood that is glassed in to create a hard-point.
Interesting side bar: The leading edge of the F-4 Phantom is a rolled 1-1/4" piece of aluminum. As are the weapons hard-points.

Hi,
I do machining work and Ive worked with G10 laminated sheet (1/16" thk).  I get it at a local plastics distributor in New England. You can google Ain Plastics or Commercial Plastics.. Maybe one of them is near you... If you need any more info let me know. good luck..Ken
