Backyard Rails

Post by Caribou Doug »

Does anyone know if Backyard Rails is still around or if someone took over their products. I have an early 90's 1.5 scale F7 body and I am looking for a replacement fan vent for the top of the fiberglass body. If they are not, does anyone have suggestions of another source? Two of them are removable so I am having a friend with a 3D printer look at making one but I am not sure he will be able to. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
