tuffyluffy 76 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Does anyone know where on earth i can get these? Lustys say they are no longer available, theres none on ebay or trademe, and a google search revealed nothing. I cant believe im the only person in the world that needs some replacements.

tuffyluffy 76 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 I need 3. Have you tried Lusty & Blundell? Yep, they say they're no longer available. I need 4! Im trying a few other international sites, so ill let you know how i get on. BTW, L&B have the ST60+ suncovers (wont fit ST60) for $39.00 a piece Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Maybe we should be looking for an alternative. Link to post Share on other sites
tuffyluffy 76 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Agreed. At $40 a pop id rather duct-tape a tupperware lid over them. Ive got a couple of queries out on the interweb, so we'll see what comes back. Failing that, it wouldnt be too hard to mock something up. Maybe even mould some from thin perspex Link to post Share on other sites
Rangi1 50 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've been looking for them too - let me know if you find a source Link to post Share on other sites

smithy09 50 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yes please!! 5 required.. Could be worth getting something made? I wouldn't know where to start though... Wheels?? Link to post Share on other sites
Grinna 2 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 They'd look damned sexy in carbon Maybe it'd be worth making a mold and knocking out a few dozen in carbon or fi-glass. Just a thought. Link to post Share on other sites
Farrari 4 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 With the power of Google I found this thread looking for Raymarine ST60 (standard) suncovers. http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=272811 Hopefully this link will take you to a UK website that is selling them for $4.50 (UK pounds). http://www.marinemegastore.com/product.asp?pf_id=SMG_705_A25004&src=GBASE&gb_exvat=1 Gotta be cheaper than making them although I agree they would look sexier in carbon . Sounds like a bulk order is called for. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Proabably easiest to Vacuum Mould some out of Plastic, if there is enough interest I could machine up a mould and make a few at a time, would just need some UV Stable plastic. Could easily machine the crew.org logo into the mould too. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 We're up to 12 already. What would a start of 20 set us back if we tried to flick off the other 8 while it was being done? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Probably a bottle of Rum per set of 4, If they are all the same dimension the mould will cost bugger all, model it up, machine and drill then 5 minutes or so to mould each one, trim your self... Link to post Share on other sites
