Thanks, I have been in contact with Mel and he's on the lookout. I bought some other parts from him and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. I have most of the parts to complete 2 motors, just missing a few odds and ends. I will try Randy.

Looking for Kiekhaefer engine components. There must be some still out there somewhere.

I recently purchased a Cigarette 35 and got in touch with Jeff about hauling it to Washington State. I just wanted to give praise where it is deserved, He is extremely helpful and did an excellent job, I would highly recommend him and his service. He is a man of his word. Thanks for all the help...

Thanks for the help, I'll give them a try. Mike

Hi, Does anyone recognize this material and where can I buy some? It is 1 inch thick. Thanks Mike
