Went to MHZ website, scoops look different and don't bolt like the ones in the picture. Wondering if they were custom made?

Dont believe you will find any that are bolt on. That part is custom fabricated and easy enough to do - http://imageevent.com/justaddwata/my...=0&w=4&s=0&z=4

I cannot say I have come accross anyone selling the scoops you show (red ones) and they may well be custom (I have been shopping scoops for some time). Certainly let us know if you track down the source.

Will do. I might make some out of fiber glass if I keep getting a dead end in my search, if so, I"ll post pics and might start selling them. Thanks for your response.

The hull is a PPB-Skater .. so your source for the scoops is PPB. [link=http://ppbracing.com/alt_menus/alt_index.htm]L I N K [/link]

The white flat ones are used on the [link=http://ppbracing.com/models/skater/skater_26/Skater26/index.html]Skater-26[/link] , the high red ones are on the [link=http://ppbracing.com/models/skater/twin_qd_rh/TwinQuickdrawrearexhaust/index.html]Twin-QD_RE[/link].

Thank you for the heads up. Gave them a email a while back, wasn't sure if it was them, guess I just have to be more patient and wait for them to respond. Does anyone have a different email address other than whats on their website?
