Lou,they could be but converting them shouldn't be too hard, just wider and lower the outbd mount hole. I'm not sure of the one you have.
I never loaned the mold out before, that I remember. Remember I'm over 65. I think there was only one other set of pants built from mine. I can send you a picture of the pants off the EZ. I plan on going into Marks hangar today to help him with a radio installation. The pants are off right now to be modified because of a prosthesis installed on the side of the gear. I'll take the picture anyway.

Dave if this is the same mold which was being sent to LongEZ owners, I had it and made a set of pants from it. I never installed them before I sold it so I still have them. Unfortunately they are for the 5:00 tires and too small for my VEL. How can they be converted?

Lou I have molds for a set of pants I built years ago for my Long EZ. I took the splash off Cory Birds Symmetry(Yellow Bird) that won grand champ at OSH a few years back. I got them when he was building the plane. I rebuilt his engine at the time I made the molds. They are for 500.5 tire size but can be made to fit 600.6 low profile type. They are some of the most aerodynamic pants I have ever come across. You being near can come down to LVK and pick them up if you like. I made two sets of pant off them. They are each two part molds.
Come to think of it they are in a box and I could ship them to you, if you like. I can take pictures if you like as well. Yours to use or anyone else that would like. Just pay shipping.

Does any body have a source for a more aerodynamic wheel pant for a 6" tire? I have the old style now but don't see any increase in speed.
