: Hey Mick,

: Excellent idea! I tried to get the manufacturer, Necky, to supply me with a
: template from their design computer at the point I was going to install
: the bulkhead. Their response was, "No problem to do that but we don't
: want to be responsible for any problems, so you give us $200.00 and we,ll
: do it for you."

I've heard similar stories from Necky dealers in my area. Supposedly, Necky will not even ship replacement hatches to dealers any longer. They definitely will not supply bulkheads for aftermarket installation. I'd like to add a bow hatch to my girlfriend's Looksha sport (to make it easier to load and unload), but my local dealer can't get the cover for me. Talk about a paranoid company!
