Maybe all you existing owners could get together and buy these moulds up?

Not worried, I just wouldn't purchase them if they were, the fit of my body is terrible. Whatever epoxy or resin was used was terrible also, the shell is brittle and cracks easily. I would love to get a complete set of LB panels, but distance and costs are keeping me from doing that. Maybe if those CAE molds were available.

I can put you in touch with the guy holding the CAE moulds. You might be better off with fresh panels and so gelcoat, but you can do a lot of remedial work to those panels you have for the same price. You have to factor in freight too.
Those panels you have were laid up and shipped in 2006 if I remember correctly.
With no paint protection in all that time they could well have degraded. They have had four owners in the States before they got to you.
