I am not sure which lid is used on a 1972, but if it is roughly an 18' x 18" it will most likely only be available from CAYO in Watervliet, MI. Kevin...

Hi CRF7263. Welcome to the Avion forum. OH BOY! Am I going to get into trouble now. You hit a home run so please don't get too upset if I get on my soap...

Bill, Not much to debate. I agree with what you said. I have been meaning to ask you if your background is in science or engineering? I'm kicking around a...
