Sorry to hog all the air time here, but I thought you all might enjoy this.  As a kit builder, you will find yourself interfacing with some of the giants of the hobby.  When we first designed the Elliptic, we were looking for someone who would pull a few sets of wheel pants for us to use on the prototypes.  No one was interested until we contacted a company that had just started advertizing in the magazines.  We had never heard of them, but they were very nice and we assured them we would not be competing in their territory.  They agreed to five sets of wheel pants if we would send them the plugs, which we did.  They were perfect and my Elliptic no. 3 still has them on it.  Their name was Great Plains.  Ever heard of them?!
