Alright, here I go. I recently purchased a '93 Formula 252 that is in great shape...except for the engine hatch. It is made up of four different sections that are all attached to the fiberglass engine cover. The entire engine cover is raised by an electric lift. Anyway....one of the pieces is totally rotten and there are no original pieces of the wooden frame left for me to build a new one. I am trying to find out who/where I can get the original specs in order to build the section that is rotten. Or, where I can have it fixed. Any help would be appreciated as Formula has not been very helpful. Thanks in advance.

I'm gonna build mine out of either Divinylcell or Klegecell. These are light weight core materials. They can be cut with a saw or knife. Cut them to fit and then encapsulate in fiberglass and epoxy.<br />Divinylcell and Klegecell both have web sites.<br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty
