I have a pair of MLG pants from an Alon A2. When I bought her, three years ago, they were not on. I still have them in my garage here in Euclid, OH I can take and send pix w/o much trouble. The color matches 6363V which can be seen at users.hawken.edu/creno/alon Charlie at CGF ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Burkhead" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Vance" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Coupe-List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 3:27 PM Subject: RE: [COUPERS-FLYIN] Fw: Wheel Pants > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > > > > David, > > I don't have any good leads.
