Locost GRP back panel, bonnet and scuttle and side panels
Hi folks, im struggling to source a GRP back panel, bonnet, scuttle and side panels for my Locost. It's all ones that are fitted just now and
are a bit tired. I'd prefer GRP but I'm struggling to find anyone who makes them any more. Haynes roadster ones appear available (and are
often described as Locost) but they're all generally bigger than the book Locost.
Anybody have any of the above in reasonable nick they would sell or know of anyone who actually still makes them?
Cheers
Graham

Might also be worth asking on the locost section on Facebook?

I assume you've tried Al's locost bodyshop?

Edit it wasn't Al's I got.
It was a bloke called Ian, but he's stopped doing them too
i got Al on the phone recently. He stopped doing the Locost GRP panels last year

I messaged them back in March and they are only doing the Roadster GRP not Locost anymore
It seems nobody is actively making Locost GRP anymore - but these people must still have the the moulds sitting around doing nothing? Why don't
they sell them and let someone else supply?
I might ping them another message and ask about the moulds actually.

Just had this reply from Equinox :-
"Hi Tony, sorry we only do the Haynes kit. We do not have the moulds for Locost, i really do not know who does make them. It'd be a google
search. Regards, Karen"
The hunt for moulds continues.......
