Anyone out there have pics of Curtis Fiberglass Cycle Fenders?

I can find about 100 pics of their clam-shells, but not one that is definitively Curtis.

Looking to buy a set, but Curtis hasn't returned an email (understand they are nightowls and slower paced) and I'm really curious to see that they look like on a car.

Thanks!

Something I really need to fix on my web site--it's a single Curtis these days, it's just Fay. She always did the fiberglassing and Bert did the metalwork, but Bert passed away last year and she's on her own now. Keep trying her, evenings is best, she's still making parts and still looking for your business, but she's hard to connect with.

Sorry to hear of the passing.

I'll keep trying, but really would like to see what they look like. The Wings have been well documented, but their other accessories haven't, at least as far as the search on the Forum and the internet can turn up.

I'm sure the wait will be worth it... just want to make sure I'm waiting for something I really want!

Thanks!

I ordered a set for a friends car a few years back, and at that time Fay only had the Westfield type cycle fender molds. Both my friend and myself weren't too keen on the look (actual style, not quality) of them so I ordered a set from Caterham USA.

That is still the case, I believe.

Me either, but it's in the eye of the beholder.

Botbasher,
Those are them, but I don't recall how wide they were.

Well... According to the description, if they are still the same ones, they are 7.5 and 8.5 , which I presume is across the flat and lip to lip.

Found another Westie pic. If they still have the rounded fronts, then... I think I'm with you guys.

I've asked her if she has pics of current product. I'll have to wait for that to make an official determination.
