I was just wondering if anyone has bought any fiberglass reproductions from them. If so how were they.

Great folks! Just got set of 26R flares and a new bonnet from them. I requested an extra light bonnet and they did a top job with lightweight foam reinforcement. They are not fast but I think, very reasonable. Talk to Fay on the phone for ordering.

I recall quite a bit of concerned voiced on the Yahoo Europa Group.

Do not recall details but months of no communication comes to mind.

NO firsthand experience, so take it for what its worth.

I bought some panels there some years back, parts were of good quality.

I have used Curtis Unlimited for a bonnet for my Elan and wings for my Seven and found them to be excellent products at a very reasonable price. I did accept that communication is "old school"...no email or web stuff for them. As John says you have to call Fay in the morning or evening and I found late in the day was best about 4:00 California time. This may be the source of the frustration Briggs mentions. If you call mid day the phone just rings and they are NOT particularly good about returning calls...you need to reach them. They are not fast as they do everything themselves but are great people and honor their commitments.

Funny... everyone is saying call etc, but no one has posted a phone number... anyway:


but can be contacted through [email protected] or by calling 707-443-8523 and talking with Bert or Faye.
