I need to replace my right wheel pant.
My 7A kit was purchase between 2002 and 2006.
Are the different versions of wheel pants/
Is the one in Vans store now the same part ?
7 and 7A kits have been shipped with the same wheel pants since introduction of the kit. The only change ever made ( maybe 3 years ago?) was molding them with grey gelcoat on the exterior instead of just raw glass / resin.
Not fact, but I’d guess it’s so they can spray the finished gel coat inside the mold before shooting chopped fiber, or glass mats. This allows a smooth defect free finish regardless of bubbles etc present in the glass layup. Also makes finish sanding and paint easier.
