Nobody stocks them. Stenod is the dealer.

Be prepared to wait. Joe Van O builds them one at a time as people order them.

I ordered mine on Aug 22nd and it should be getting delivered today.

Did you want glass or carbon? We can sell Overbeek parts, and the wait can be bad sometimes.

Id also be interested in a glass pin on hood, depending on price. I have a brand new WS9 outlaw but id rather have the Joe O hood.

The hood from Joe O- Firebird

Standard fiberglass, approx 20.5 pounds 734.50
Lightweight fiberglass, approx 18 pounds 864.50
Carbon approx 9.5 pounds 1280.50

Rear wing, fiberglass lightweight 403.00
Carbon Wicker for wing 39.00

Right now we are looking at mid November for delivery, then shipping from Michigan. Shipping is expensive for these parts as we need to build a crate for each hood.

The pricing has been getting worse lately as the american dollar keeps falling versus canadian dollar, so the exchange rate is hurting us.

Anyone have a weight on the stock WS.6 hoods? w/ or w/o latches/hinges/etc???


Edit: stock hoods look to be 45-55lbs depending on WS6 or flat hood. That's a considerable savings.
