unlike other carbon cans, the Remus ones are double skinned... that is there is a metal sleeve under the carbon outer, and that is why they can survive the pulses of a V2 engine without the carbon failing.
that is good news and bad news.
good because the structure of the can is still conserved even if the carbon is being removed
bad because the carbon sleeves you can get from various supplier might not fit on top of the metal inner. .. but I havnt tried so I cant say one way or the other.
what I will say is that wne I tried to repack mine, I couldn't work out how they came apart!. I drilled out all the rivets at the bottom end of the can and used as much force as I dared, but there was no movement, so perhaps the bottom band is just for show or to hold the carbon sleeve on, and the top band is where the joint is......... but I decided they didn't need a repack that badly and gave up! just put new rivits back in and refitted.
so when you do get them apart I will be interested to understand the construction and see where the joints are so I can do my repacking
