Richard Riisberg Member R Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 83 Michigan	I am looking for a cover for my 1961 150A fastback straight tail. I would like a winter outdoor cover that goes back past the gas caps. Has anyone see, purchased or have any suggestions where to find one. Any contact information or prices would be helpfull. Thanks Richard X

The covers for the 150/152 have three belly bands and wing flaps that cover the air vent intakes and the gas caps. Jim says he currently shipping about 2 to 3 weeks after order. Each cover is made custom for each order. His price is 295 plus shipping. Bob '79 152 N68608

I have had one of his covers on my 152 for about 9 years now. He will also rehab an older cover for $25. this includes return shipping. I just boxed mine up to send him to have it restitched. Can you imagine, after 9 years they will restitch the entire cover for $25.00. I just wish they still made the style that they called "The Rain Cap". I think Hung has this type too and I think he will agree. Ron Stewart N5282B KSFZ

If you can't get one of the suppliers to make one for you, let me know. I have a 150C for a model, and I used to be able to sew a pretty good hem in my day! [Linked Image] http://g-awaw.org/
