All,
I own a Lancair 360 MKII, N754RP. The cowling is showing its age. Does anyone know of a good shop that can repair or make a new cowling? My particular airplane has the Zavatson long nose/plenum cooling design. I am in TX.
Thank you in advance.

T.W.,
You can always give Brad Simmons a call as his shop is well-known. Also, I’ll see if Matt Speare can chime in as he owns several 360/320s.

There is a complete set, top and bottom, for sale on Facebook.
If it just has cracks and needs repainting, Brad’s shop (Airframes Inc ) can do that.

Matt, looks like the FB link is bad. Maybe it sold?

The plenum/diffuser set-up won't fit an original cowling. The inlets are set back too far (relative to the spinner) among other things.
What is the nature of the damage? That will help answer the repair/replace question.
Have any pics?
