Hi Lee,
It appears that Wag Aero (store.wagaero.com) has them for about $76.00.
They are code 8 which is unapproved
but.........??? Part number is M-121-000.

Lee,
I just deleted your first post that was not formatted right.
Next time you post anything and need to change or modify it, just return to the post and you can edit it. That is if you have signed in as a member and are the orginal poster.

$76... damn thats expensive! I simply have 2 pieces of aluminum, 40 or 50 thousandths, bent at 90 degrees. They are connected through the lower gear bolt, one goes on the front side of the oleo and one on the back. The wheel pants have nut plates on them so the pants can be removed without pulling the gear bolt.
I would just make a set. Probably $1.25 in scrap alum. (or free if you know the A/P) and 35 minutes to cut and bend them up.
If my description is fuzzy, they usually are, I can snap picture of mine and send it to you.

$76 is expensive.
Aluminum is lighter, however, mine are built out of one piece of .050 steel with ears bent 90 degrees and bolted to the lower gear bolt. Nut plates are attached to the bracket and the wheel pant fits over the bracket and is attached with 4 screws. Also made out of scrape.

One last bit of advice, go ahead and put in a set of over sized doublers on the pants. They take a heck of a beating. This should prevent any cracks that are sure to pop up.
Pics are on the way.
