Mine just showed up, these things are too frikn expensive. Anyway, I've got a brand new in the box cowl, perfect for scanning and 3D printing, if anyone who knows more about that kinda thing, and wanted to chime in. I'll need to install it fairly soon (i.e. before the snow really hits), and I'm in the Denver area if that helps.

Looks like they are sold out almost everywhere. New ones are selling on e-bay for $1,347.04 now. Crazy.

Good luck on that - I got lucky and Safelite was able to get one for my rig when I replaced the windscreen. All the ones at my local wreckers (Portland OR area) were broken in same place mine was, and I had my choice of at least 4

Anyone have a nice drivers side 10 or so inch chunk of the cowling they would send me?

I'm going to try to either replicate one with 18 or so gauge steel or fiberglass/epoxy resin.

I have tons of resin and fiberglass left over from my last transom rebuild/fuel tank replacement. I do need a complete one in order to make this happen and both my parts and wife's rig have the drivers piece missing


Any source for the little rubber part that goes on the edges at each fender?

Aha! I used to go to Charlotte and Ft Mill quite often for work meetings until COVID hit us these past couple of years.

JAG000040 + 50 are the part numbers, side specific. AB and RN have them for around 20 bucks.
