    WTB: Aluminum Frame Ducktail

    Looking for a nice aluminum frame ducktail to replace the all-fiberglass one on my RS clone.

    Any insights as to the best new fabrications also appreciated.

    Thank you. Yes, that is my fallback thought for now. Anyone have experience with figment? Are they sourced from the UK? Looks like someone over there, or in Germany is the main source?

    Yes, I believe all of their aluminum decklids are sourced from the UK. I purchased their aluminum decklid (non ducktail) and they told me the supplier was in the UK. The fitment was pretty good but did require some modifications by my sheetmetal guy to improve the fitment. This was the case with all of the aftermarket sheetmetal parts I purchased.
