Replacement cladding

[chuckyuen]

The cladding on my syclone is starting to deteriorate due to the sun and UV here in Hawaii. Several pieces are starting to crack and a lot of the mounting tabs are starting to break off. Where is the best place to get a replacement set of cladding? How much should I expect to spend?

I've also been in contact with a guy on eBay who sells a replacement set made out of fiberglass. What do you guys think about this? He wants $3750 plus shipping for a full set. Is that reasonable?

Thanks for the help.

I would fix the mounting brackets using 2 part epoxy. There are a few people with OEM sets that are new. Let me make a call to Mark. SY/TY cladding guru!

Re: Replacement cladding

yar probably has what you want/need but I would repair the cladding you have and get it painted personally.

Re: Replacement cladding

Whatever you do, don't trash your damaged cladding. I might be interested in buying your broken parts.

Re: Replacement cladding

Thanks for the advice and help guys.

Jeff, let me know what you hear from Mark. Thanks for the help.

V, if I do sell my old cladding I'll let you know first.

Re: Replacement cladding

Thanks Jeff. I guess 2 part epoxy becomes my new best friend. What kind do you guys recommend?

Re: Replacement cladding

I have a complete set of Typhoon cladding that I bought - way back in the day - from a poster who I understand posts here (Ray Moore?). I had to do quite a bit of "massaging" to get it into shape, and my "massaging" isn't quite finished (my project never did happen). I was under the impression that the parts were in better shape than they actually were (and I am OCD about that kind of stuff). I spent a ton of time shape-sanding them; repairing nicks/holes/waves/etc. These parts are nearly all paint-ready (and they're straight now, and structurally sound with all tabs).

How different is the Sy cladding from the Ty cladding? I have everything - including bumper back support parts, aluminum rocker cladding support parts, core support and grille.

I think I'll list it here, and see what bids I get on it...
