spmg76013 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hi - a recent storm blew my hangar doors off the tracks, literally. One door landed on top of my VE, cracked the canopy in half and snapped the nose wheel casting at the axle. If anyone has either part for sale, new or used, please let me know. Thanks, Sean Gillen Arlington, Tx spmg_76013@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Matcho Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Sorry to hear that Sean... luckily it was just those two pieces. You can get the canopy from www.toddscanopies.com, but don't know about the nose wheel casting. Do you have a pic of that you can share?

spmg76013 Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thank you Jon. I was hoping to save a few $$ by finding some used/unused parts, but have not been successful there. I've already spoken to Todd and he's working on finding my a canopy which is close in fit to my existing canopy frame. $425 isn't too awful bad. The NG401B looks like the way to go. Thanks, SPG1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
