If your still doing Sonex latch plates, I would be very grateful for a set.

I've still got two sets, both without pilot holes. If that will work PM me your snail mail address and I'll send a set out.

We finally got to sit in the Waiex yesterday. We're making it a center stick with a "convertible" center seat "butt bridge".

Even sitting in the center it's going to be a tight fit for me (the strikingly handsome 6'3" guy with his feet sticking out the bottom ;) ) The other guys on the build team fit just fine.

Is your cowl going to read "TRIPLE FIVE" or "TRIPLE NICKEL"? Also, do you still have that last latch plate set available, I think it might fit my ONEX.

Definitely "Triple Nickel". That's the chapter's nickname.

I've got one set left and I can always make a few more if someones needs a set. Send me your address (PM or email) and I'll get a set mailed out.

I like your brake mod. Forget about hydraulics!!!

Got the latch plates, look good. Thanks
