NACA duct suppliers?
I am having trouble finding a supplier of fibreglass (not plastic) NACA ducts Mac Rally distributors are all out of stock and want to charge an arm
and two legs for delivery 
Anyone got any ideas? 
Cheers,
Raz

MAC RALLYING DISTRIBUTORS THE SAME AS MC RALLYING???? If so ignore the following 
MC rallying do them for £17.99 a pop with mesh
http://www.mcrallying.net/pages/general/bonnet-grills_prod.htm
p&p appears to be £6.50 inc or less... not sure if that's a good or bad thing as to what you've already been quoted.
(This company supplies mc rallying fibreglass parts, so they might have some in stock - cheaper prices than mc rallying - delivery is strange
though, can't figure out if a minimum postage cost of £45 applies or not
HERE
FIBRESPORTS do a rs1700T kit which has naca's for the bonnet so they might be worth a ring -
http://www.fibresports.co.uk/
Pro Sport don't seem to exist anymore 
http://www.smithanddeakin.co.uk/ might be another option.
Cheers

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Mr G - Thanks for all the links. I did mean MC Rallying but my finger must have slipped There are quite a few outlets that advertise their duct
& scoops but when you order them they often cancel the order with an 'out of stock' reply I will explore your other links
though - much appreciated.
Howlor & Carbonman2 - I suspect that your prices will be a little more than I can expect for fibreglass versions. I am making a small roof duct
and possibly remodelling some larger side intakes on my middy project so carbon would be wasted as I am going to use them as a basic shape to blend in
to a fibreglass body.
You can always U2U me if you think I am wrong though

Raz

I thought you had that sorted? Or have you changed your mind again?!

Umm ..... ermmm ...... I can change my mind can't I?
The truth is that I remodelled them and I STILL don't like them ......... what can I say? It's just me being over fussy I guess .... or
maybe I'm just afraid of the big bad Mr SVA

Trouble is that the vents are a fundamental part of the bodywork and I need to get them right (for both me and Mr SVA) before I get it painted.

If Razman doesn't want them, can I have second dibs on 'em?

Thanks to both Howlor and Scotty 
Unfortunately both types are not the right sizes for my particular project so I will have to carry on looking.
I have found another MCR distributor which is 'internet only' so I can't phone and check if they have any stock.
Thanks again guys

Raz

The CF ones would do me, but I may have other plans afoot now, so don't want to prevent sales elsewhere.
