Curious, for what aircraft?

they are not leather like on a cub. they have a plywood teardrop cover and enclosed on one side only

If you need a set for patterns I think I have a set available for sale. They are made with a metal framework and wood.

Ryan,
I believe Univair sells covers. I don't know if they are leather.

It's going back on an L-2M that previously had leather covers. I don't know all the specs. If it originally had the other style, then maybe we should return it to that, but I need to make sure it fits / works, etc... For now I'd just like to replace the leather covers that dried up and became worthless while this bird had some TLC done to repair it.

I'm currently building a set for my L2M. I have drawings if you need them.

Ryan,

My L-2 had vinyl covers because the original restorer used the wrong landing gear, more along the lines of a Cub than L-2. If you have L-2 gear, it will be set-up for the correct covers. I believe I have a pair of covers, I will have to look later. No L-2 that I know of came with leather covers.

I think we'd be interested!

Re: Bungee covers...

there is a stud on each side of the bungee support that should have winged tab bolted to it. that is the mount for the plywood covers. There is two covers, plywood part is the same but the opening for the closed end for the strut to pass through will be two different sizes depending on whether it has a streamline tube or round tube strut. later airplanes, mostly "M" should have round strut, but could have earlier streamline if they have been changed in the past

Hmmm. Well, this is the current configuration, except that in a previous incident the old covers got damaged and we need new ones.
