Hugh,
Personally I think I'd take it to a fiberglass repair shop. Of course you
'd want a firm quote first. I've seen a huge price range in my area betwe
en different shops.
If you could find an actual Allegro wheel pant to purchase that'd be even
easier, but good luck with that. It'd at least be worth calling B Bar D
to see if they have one to sell you. (I've been waiting a year for a wing
-tip light cover)
The Aircraft Spruce route may be more work than you really want, unless t
he wheel pant is nearly identical. Most likely you'd have to buy two (so
they match) then do a lot of trimming and fitting on two pants, instead o
f just getting one repaired. And they'd both need painting.
One other possibility is if Thom Riddle still has the wheel pants that we
re on the Rans S6S I traded him for my Allegro. (The S6S is no longer, bu
t the wheel pants might be sitting somewhere). Thom?
Good Luck Hugh.

Subject: Allegro-List: Allegro 2000 Wheel Pants
The outside attaching bolts on one of my wheel pants came loose with out
my knowledge and upon landing at a turf runway the vibration allowed the
wheel pant to come in contact with the tire and as a result it ripped the
fiberglass wheel pant off the aluminum bracket. I now have to decide if
it is worth fixing, ( 2 photos attached) or if I can find another set of
Allegro wheel pants here in the states, try to see if the wheel pants off
ered by Aircraft spruce will fit, or just forget the idea of having wheel
pants. I am at a turf field, so wheel pants take a beating anyway. Any w
ay, short of trying to get a set or just one from Fantasy Air (which may
be impossible now) anyone out there have extra wheel pants for an Allegro
2000? Suggestions?

Hugh, B bar D has taken over as the Fantasy Air manufacturer in North
Carolina. They have many parts now for both Allegro 2000 & 2007, including
the wing tip covers. I'd look at both options on your pants.
Doug's phone is Work 919-775-2224 Cell 336-202-1585
I make it part of my pre-flight inspection to check the outside wing pant
bolt & shake the pant as my bolt did loosen up once.
My current project is working with Mikrotechna who made the original ASI &
stall warning system to figure out how to analyze & adjust all 3 components,
ASI, pressure switch, & sounding board. I'll keep you posted.
