Re: cowl band
Some of the suppliers have them new.

Re: cowl band
Reproduction cowl bands do NOT fit worth a flip. If you are going to use one, you must do the fit-work prior to painting. Because of this, we are restoring original cowl bands which is very laborious however much faster in time than fitting a new repro band.

Re: cowl band
the new repro bands are currently off the market. There were two companies making these in the past. One went bankrupt about 1 1/2 years ago, and the other is retooling to make a nicer and better fitting product. The company retooling is not giving any idea when they will be back on the market.

Re: cowl band
Is the Briggs a different length? I know many are the same and a few are about 1/2” longer per side. I have restored regulars..... restored by Doug Bruce (the best)
