Tupperware Tabectomy
Written by pc800dork on 2/9/2010 at 09:14 pm

You can EASILY rebuild the tab(s) with Plastex (http://plastex.home.att.net/) or
one of the other similar products that others have posted in the past. You can
even reinforce them with a little piece of fiberglass fabric used with the
Plastex.

I have since recovered, and I am attempting to do the same for BP. I have
collected almost everything I need to begin restoration, however one piece has
been elusive: the left front upper cowl set, or fairing. I've been trolling eBay
for months, and an undamaged left fairing has not yet surfaced, although I
continue to look daily.

in that bad of condition, except that the enter lower rear mounting tab was
sheared away and is now nothing but shards of shattered Tupperware strewn about
the northern California Lost Coast. Rather than try to completely rebuild this
tab completely from scratch (which I could do, but it would be tedious), I'd
like to try to locate a replacement tab. If anybody has a broken left front
upper cowl set just cluttering up their garage or attic that they don't need,
and if its lower rear tab is intact, perhaps we could make a deal and that piece
could be used as an organ donor for a tab transplant for Blue Pacific.
