Wanted - 600ss Seat Cowl

Discussion in 'Wanted' started by Paul Hasleham, Oct 20, 2015.

  1. Hi
    I'm after a seat cowl for my 97 600ss. Preferably red and in good condition.
    I've spent some time looking for one but they seem pretty rare beasts - does anyone know if you can buy them new or am I looking for a second hand one??

    cheers
     
  2. I have one Paul but don't like posting (Dorking me) if fragile-ish. If you bide your time they do turn up.
     
  3. They are like gold dust
    I have one but it's signed by foggy and I can't part with it sorry
     
  4. not available new now - in the very rare chance that you get down to Box Hill nr Dorking anytime then could meet you.
     
  5. It is possible to make one from ally sheet fairly easily, but it would need a trim bead along the forward / leading edge as the short downturn bend there is hard to form.
     
  6. Would be gorgeous in à la minion AL - not that bad to make? Wouldn't be able to add the two little fins easily though
     
  7. Make them out of ally tube approx 12mm OD, cut in half down the middle and shaped at the ends (the leading ends could probably be rounded / bent to close them off)..........fix each with two small ally C/S rivets, file the tops smooth and polish........

  8. About the fins......I meant the trailing edge could be bent, not the leading edge.............the leading edge 'fades' into the cowl surface.

    Having had another look at the leading edge of the cowl, there is a slight possibilty the downstand could be formed, but a trim bead would still be needed I reckon, otherwise it could cut the seat.
     
  9. You're about as much use as mens tits :p

  10. Hi Chris
    Sorry about the delay replying...I live near Cambridge so not too far away..but not often down your way. Are you sure you can't post it - I would take the risk
     
  11. There must be someone out there who has one for sale!!!!!
     
  12. Yeah but as you already now know - not that many who want to part with one.

    You looking to spend 20 quid?
