There were a few threads a while ago re suppliers of the hood. I'm still after the inner moulding that directs the air inside the alien hood. Someone said that they could supply one on an earlier post but I can't find it. Anyone know who it was?

Sorry it's been a while.

Sorry Cye......not meaning to steal your thunder or anything, but theres was a fella on S&F doing them and they did seem ever so cheap.....but you'll have the agg of importing.

Capt the cheaper the better.
Do you have the link.

Got anywhere with the Mercury logo to suit these yet, will need a set soon.

Captain Chaos · 21-01-2005, 12:01 PM

I have the link @ home.......will post later.

Perhaps you should have a word with gav and get him to take a decent mould off yours and sell'm between you. If they were keenly priced i'm sure theres a market. I seem to remember someone telling me (when they had one done for a mariner 280) that all told, with a genuine lower skirt & graphics....it was not a lot shy of £800.

decals: Got the logos all sorted & the colour fades......& willa dapt to whatever people want. My main problem is the shape of the "tick" part as i dont have one to copy......hopefully this will change soon!

Heres my initial layout for the ones going on my fletcher....I took the 250XB as me inspiration

Cyco · 21-01-2005, 12:14 PM

Also dont forget that cheaper ones may be wobblier crappier quality. You get what you pay for!!!!

mike k · 22-01-2005, 02:43 PM

Cheers Cyco, put me down for one and pm me collection and payment details. Thanks again

Matt, yep I did get a set of molds to build alien cowls.
I can build these as raw moldings to finnish off yourself and at a fair price.
I can build them 3" thick if thats what ya want but these are supposed to be light weight, plus they are GRP unlike the merc ones so they can be repaired if needed.

Also I'm alot closer than the USA!

alan how much for finished cowl and does it come with tray ?

Hydrostream · 24-01-2005, 12:32 AM

Roofer, at the moment I don't know. I have to find a source for the hardware and SS tray. But will look into it all this week and let you know.
The SS tray may take some time as I need to find someone that will make these with a die press. Also the cowl doesn't come with a lower cowl, YET!

Thanks, Alan
