I've got one of the original JAS LWB bodies. I know Ballerzbugs are currently making a set of side pods. However, I'm at the stage now where I'm getting ready to prep and paint. Therefore I want the pods so they can go through the same painting process to ensure the colour is consistent through the entire bug!

I am open to different style of pods providing they fit!

Advice and replies are very appreciated.

Cheers

Lee

The Jas is close to the original GP super buggy for which pods were never available but later GP ones would fit with tweeks but the lwb ones were generally a scoop type as on the californian, ranchero although some had ones that were longer swb style. however extending swb ones is not a 5 minute job.
Kingfisher Kustoms have a fair few molds so it may be worth speaking to them or perhaps fibrecraft on here will do something info@fibrecraftuk.com

Thanks snoopy,
When you say tweets, how much and what sort of tweek? I don't really want to mess with the fibre glass. I spoke to fiberclass and they said they didn't have anything available. I've spent a fair bit with Kingfisher last weekend. I'll give them a ring tomorrow and see if they've got anything.
Thanks again for the advice
Lee

Lee you have a pm but kingfishers do lwb side pods shaped like the swb GP ones for a very reasonable price if anybody needs them as Muzzy has stopped production.

Lee has got some so anyone interested Dave Fishers fibreglass guy has a pair of early LWB jas pods he wants to get out of his way. Guessing a cheap buy as GP/GT LWB ones are around £150 a pair new
