Steve,
I purchased a mud flap at NAPA for trucks
(24" x 30") and cut them out of the thicker perimeter areas. They have
fabric reinforcement molded in and are cheap as well.

Hi Cory,
Is your Corvair built by William Wynne, do it yourself or other?
Thanks for the tip on the mud flap. Out of curiosity - why did you change from
supplied materials? Was it a form or function decision?
Steve

Steve,
This is Lynn -- Corry is the city. I built my Corvair
myself as per Williams recipe and with his manual, parts and guidance. I
also used much info from Mark Langfords incredibly useful website. My Zenith
performs great with the Corvair, and I always get comments on how cool it
sounds. As
for the landing gear cushions, the hose supplied for that purpose isn't
something I ever considered using. Overall, I was well pleased with the kit
materials and quality of parts supplied by Zenith for the 601 XL. I'm not
sure why they fall so short of the quality standard on this simple part.
It's easy to cut out cushions that nest nicely between mount bolts for the
gear.

On the 701 the factory is now using some pink high density polymer. It is about
0.4 to 0.5 inches thick as I recall.
