Thanks to Suprman for the referral to Eastern Supply. Bought a new one for $475.00 and it appears to have much...
We picked up our M-1078 in Pennsylvania, and drove it home to Gardnerville. It had a PA title, and we had a trip permit issued by the AAA in PA. I then drove it up to Carson City ( in forest camo..) and had it inspected. The short vin# threw them, as it wouldn't work in their system. They just...

Sound mat

Huge improvement in heat transfer and...

I have a meeting tomorrow with a client who manufactures composite parts. I may ask about costs of creating a fiberglass or drape mold to create a few of these.
