Jas buggies were going to make some for the latest lwb shell but I have not seen them.
the Rat and GP ranchero both lwb buggies had side pods and the Gp super buggy/californian models had a side pod with air scoops in non of which are availiable new now.
Kingfisher Kustoms have the GP buggy molds and they may well have side pod molds but they are not producing anything, it may be worth a call to Dave to find out what they have and if anything can be done if you are well stuck.

i know were there is a set but the blokes useing them but i did ask him if i could mould from them and he didnt say no i could chase him up

Thanks Muzzy
When you talk about moulds I dont know what you are talking about or how you go about it, new to this game, how much would it be to have somone make some for me ?
Thanks

basicly what you do is you get what you want to copy then cover with a thick layer of fibre glass to make a negative of what you want, you then fibreglass the negative and that then is your finished item, but basicly you are making a negative/mould then making a posative from the negative, but you are making 2 sets which can be expensive, if you can find some one who has a mould already then will be half the price but normal price for a set of SWB side pods is about £180 a pair, but LWB are a bit more, plus the expence of making the moulds, for example i got the moulds for a lifting bonnet kit, and they stand me at £300 plus just for the mould

Thanks muzzy, will keep an eye out for a pair for sale or look to change the side some other way for a better look than plain sides.
