Those are great. Fantastic job. I want two for my BC12-D. I want the whole deal also.

The ship has arrived!

We made a couple of improvements. The covers are thicker material than the originals and there is an interlocking edge to help prevent the distortion present in the originals. All new hardware is included.

We also made a kit which includes the plastic trim at the base of the center spoke and the hardware needed to replace it. Note that you will need to remove one of the taper pins holding the yoke to the shaft in order to replace this trim. The hub cover can be replaced without removing the taper pins.

Disclaimer: Please note that I have made a significant investment in tooling to make this happen, and I am in it to make some money. I am pricing them at what I think is a fair price for both parties. Contact me via e-mail or PM if you're interested. I can supply any of the three colors with the Taylorcraft (black) logo cap.

The picture is best viewed full size (click on the thumb nail, then click inside the picture then click inside the picture in it's own window). The Ercoupe cover is maroon, not black...

(They are so shiny I had trouble getting a good picture, but I think they came out great!)

I received the set you sent me today. They are a VERY NICE piece. I have yet to fit a pair, but if they fit as good as they look, no one will be disappointed. i would like a pair of the center tube cover kits, so let me know what I owe you for those.

All:

Thanks for the kind words. It was at times a frustrating venture, but I am very happy with the way things finally came out.

I do not want to commercialize this message board, so please direct inquires to me via e-mail or private message. Just click on the "NY86" link at the top of this post.

Thanks again,

John

John, you're doing us all a service...nothing wrong with doing it at a reasonable profit, especially since you are offering something that no-one else has (or can).

Would you like a link adding to the Foundation "Technical Resources" page (where parts suppliers are also included)?

I've decided that since I'm getting all this free advertising and free press, I'll donate $5.00 to the Foundation for each complete set (2 hub covers and 2 spoke kits) I sell through here.
