Rock guard
Re: Rock guard
The Avions haven't nearly as much curve. Are the forward windows all the same? Making more then one would require making a mold first. Once the mold is made laminating would be pretty straightforward. Of course they wouldn't look like the originals. I've made inquiries about replacing broken windows , it's extremely difficult.
Re: Rock guard
I would have to ask someone like Chuck Cayo for a definitive answer, but I think the front curved windows are common between the mid-seventies thru the end of production.Tarnished wrote:The Avions haven't nearly as much curve.

I could foresee maybe a 3-piece design that would work similar to the old Silver Streaks. By adding a center cover to the side covers you already have made, I would wonder if a system like that would come in any cheaper than the cost of a new one of the original design? I think the original is something like $600 + shipping?
But I agree.... those curved side windows really need to be protected going down the road

Re: Rock guard
A single piece ala the original would be the least expensive. I like the way the Avions cover hinges up.
Cost should be under 600, packaging and shipping, no idea.

I built rock guards for my daughter & my Avions. I documented it in a tutorial style in the Airforum site. Here's a link: http://www.airforums.com/forums/f454/bu ... 22061.html
