Hi all,

I am looking for recommendations on companies willing to build molds and make parts for relatively small production runs of fiberglass and vacuum formed parts. I had outsourced this work in the past, but I would like to keep the work in the US if possible. The parts are canopy and cowling for a 26% scale Pitts, to give you an idea of the scale that we are looking at. I have engineering drawings that include material specs and dimensions along with CAD models that we can provide for quoting.

I am also interested in companies or individuals that have a good history of mold design and fabrication - I can buy the molds and supply them to a fiberglass company to build the parts.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

fiberglass specialties may be willing to do that for the cowls

and i've heard thru the grapevine that balsa usa "may" be willing to pull canopies.. but not 100% sure how accurate this is.

Send an email to Ray at NoRay Products for your vacuum forming needs. He specializes in short run stuff and does great work. They are located in Texas.

hello,
I make the fuses for ziroli and meister, I may be interested in making molds and parts,i generally make all out of epoxy and pre spray the molds with epoxy primer for a nice finish without pinholes, send me a note and some dimensions on what you would like done and to just what level of finish you have the plugs at. Pictures would be good,
Thanks,
